Iam Tongi is a musician from the island of O’ahu. He came bursting on the scene in 2023 winning season 21 of American Idol becoming the first person from Hawai’i, the first Pacific Islander, and the first non-country genre singer in three years, to win. Since his time on American Idol, Iam has accumulated over 3 million followers collectively on social media, 70+ million streams on all platforms, has sold out shows in LA, NY, DC and Hawai’i, and most recently just released his new song “Sunshine” which is a song basking in positivity and feel-good warmth pairing a swaying backbeat with smooth vocals and sandy saxophone, the 20-year-old phenom sets a scene of inner beauty to match his Hawaiian home.


In this episode we talk about growing up in Kahuku, getting into music, moving away to Washington, his relationship with his dad, his journey on American Idol, his weight loss journey, his current projects, and so much more. Enjoy!
