Steppas and Da Mainland at Paina Lounge

A revolution in music is taking place in the Pacific. From the Homesteads of Hawai'i… we bring you roots in its finest and purest form. From a collective of some of the Big Islands most influential artists, comes the music that is… The Steppas.

Individually their music has taken them as far as Indonesia, and Bali, Las Vegas, Washington, and Oregon, as well as up and down the West Coast. They've seen and been a part of some of the biggest shows here in the islands and have had the pleasure of opening for some of the biggest names in the industry today. Their musical influences have been felt in abundance by way of their roles with groups such as Ai'Pohaku, Ho'okoa, Downstar, HI Town, and Big Mountain. Collectively, The Steppas have had a strong start as the impact of their music is already being felt well beyond the island chain. The success of their first single entitled 'Good Roots' is proof positive that these men have truly found their niche and that this, is just the beginning. The Steppas consist of six integral parts, namely Na'ea Kaopua, Rick 'Star' Alaniz, Kekolu Pavao, Juan Martines and Justin Chittams. The mission of The Steppas is simple… create and play music while spreading the message and vibe of The Steppas to as many people as possible. A message of peace and love. Music because they love to make music. Complimentary parts coincide to create an authentic reggae sound. Dancehall and Lovers Rock overtones round out the music, but make no mistake… this is Roots. Good roots… good music.

By all means, please take the time to draw your own opinion. Take the time to listen. Allow the music to draw you in… and the message might set you free. Feel it… and share it. A new era is upon us.

Welcome to the revolution. ??
