Since then, he has built an international following with his unique blend of reggae, hip-hop, island rhythms, and positive energy.Born into a strict Mormon family in Fountain Valley, California, IAKOPO's life took an extraordinary turn when he was adopted by a Samoan family. As he embraced island life, he developed a deep love for nature and discovered his passion for singing. While attending Pesega Church College in Western Samoa, he performed with a local reggae band, covering Top 40 hits before eventually forging his own path as an internationally recognized recording artist.I could tell you much more about my guest, but I'd rather let him share his incredible story himself.
