Mālie Lyman
Mālie Lyman
Mālie Lyman comes from a family deeply rooted in Hawaiian music, with her mother, Pōmaikaʻi, and great-grandmother, “Aunty” Genoa Keawe, paving the way before her. She continues their tradition by singing in the leo ha‘i and leo kiʻekiʻe styles and began learning the steel guitar at the age of eight under the guidance of her kumu, Alan Akaka. Over the years, she’s been grateful for opportunities to perform, travel, and collaborate with many of Hawaiʻi’s talented musicians. A graduate of Kamehameha Schools, Mālie is currently studying audio engineering through HCC’s MELE program. While she holds great respect for the legacy she’s part of, she also looks forward to creating her own path—writing original music and exploring new genres along the way.
