To My Beloved Community -

On August 8th, I will be releasing KŌWĀ to the world.

KŌWĀ is a work of love, longing, and perspective. It encompasses my most authentic experience and expressions of who I am.

For those of you that know me, asking for support in such a deeply personal process is incredibly foreign to me, and uncomfortable to say the least. However, in doing so, I hope to invite you into these last moments bringing of KŌWĀ to life.

Every aspect of this work is imbued with love from every realm - the guidance of ancestors, the blessings of my loved ones, the pull of ancient routes crisscrossing Moananuiakea to pull together an entirely Pacific team to birth an album that carries medicine for all who find it.

This invitation is a final piece for me, breaking open this profound experience to be witnessed by and connected to you all. I've known some of you for many years and others only in brief connections, but together we've co-created magical moments from the most mundane restaurant spaces all the way to the most sacred unions.

I've set my goal amount at $22.2K to cover the following album costs:

• $8.5K: Music Videos for Out of Touch, February Summer, Delusional (Videography, Production, Travel to On-Site Locations)

• $5K Album Production with Maori Producer Bharu (Tamaki Makaurau, Aotearoa)

• $1K Album Masters in Aotearoa

• $1K Album Art with Caitlyn Tully (O'ahu)

• $1K Album Merch (3 Shirts, Hat, Vinyl Pressing)

• $5.7K KŌWĀ WEEKEND - O'ahu Album Release Events 8/22-8/24 : Friday Release Celebration, Saturday Capitol Modern Concert, Sunday Artist Panel & Day Party

From start to finish this is an artwork born of relationships, and every dollar raised here will go toward supporting Pacific art & artists while granting me the space be fully in my creative element with KŌWĀ.

Thank you for considering this invitation to be a part of my most recent project and for your continued love and support over the years.

With Gratitude,

IZIK
