Kahilu Theatre is delighted to present multi-Nā Hōkū Hanohano award-winner KIMIÉ MINER performing LIVE from the stage of Kahilu Theatre on Saturday, March 5, 2022, at 7pm HST. Following her concert, there will be a talk story with Kimié.

Kimié Miner is a Native Hawaiian mother of three and a full-time GRAMMY-nominated producer, singer-songwriter, and recording artist. She is the President and CEO of HAKU COLLECTIVE, a full-service, multi-media talent production and management group that she founded in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. She has written and co-produced 5 award-winning albums including the GRAMMY-nominated album, “Hawaiian Lullaby,” and most recently produced “Children of the Sea - Nā Kama Kai” a full-length album from her free music mentorship program called MeleCraft, dedicated to supporting aspiring young artists and honoring the Hawaiian culture and language. 

In 2018, Kimié won Female Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year for her song “Bamboo” (Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards) and Female Artist of the Year at the Island Music Awards. She also serves on the Board of Governors for the Hawaiʻi Academy of Recording Arts (HARA) and the Recording Academyʻs Pacific NorthWest Chapter. 

Kimié’s parents, who are of Hawaiian and Portuguese descent, noticed her affinity for music at a very young age, and at 14-years-old she taught herself to play guitar and began writing her own original songs. While attending Kamehameha Schools as a boarding student on Oʻahu, she honed in on her songwriting. She found inspiration in a wide range of music from Hawaiian, Jazz and R&B-influenced individuals such as Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, India.Arie, Lauryn Hill, and Eva Cassidy.
