The Lolena Music Program not only welcomes aspiring singers and songwriters, but also local schools, who have a need to record music for educational purposes.

Applicants of all ages are welcome. For those 17 and under, parent or guardian permission is required.

Applicants must reside within Hawaii.

No problem! For those on Kaua’i, Maui, Moloka’i, Lana’i, or Big Island, Ka Ma’o will cover related travel expenses for recording sessions to Oahu.

The best part of our Lolena Music Program is that there are no application fees, recording session fees, or mix & mastering fees for awardees.

Every step of the program is FREE!

Upon final completion of all recording, mixing & mastering, the awardee will have full ownership of their master track in perpetuity.

Ka Ma’o will never own master recordings, but may provide additional support (at no cost) related to record label services.

Applications will remain open year round, but only one awardee per quarter will be chosen.

After committee review, chosen awardees will be contacted via email.
