Bio

MAKENA (pronounced mah-keh-nah) is the acoustic partnership of two girls born and raised in Hawaii, who took a chance on “the mainland” 5 years ago, and are now beginning to see it pay off.

Their homemade recordings and growing name caught the attention of a Grammy-winning record label (Best Hawaiian Album, 2006), which signed them to a deal in mid-2006; their first album with the label is self-titled. As a featured act at L.A. Women’s Fest in Hollywood, their national TV debut aired on Logo, the latest MTV network, on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2007 at 8:00 p.m. Pacific (check local listings; Logo is available in 18 million homes across the USA). And MAKENA was also one of five acts from around the nation chosen for The ‘06 Emerging Artist Showcase presented by Olivia, the premier vacation company for women.

MAKENA means “abundance” in Hawaiian, and it’s the reason Siena Lee & Toast Tajiri chose it as their name. Nurturing an outlook and energy that is optimistic, yet realistic, compassionate and respectful of humanity’s collective deeper wisdom, is their main hallmark in both music and on their podcast. The Girl Meets Girl podcast is where Siena & Toast have fun talking about their experiences and lessons learned as indie music artists, helping animals, being Asian-Pacific-Islanders, and the occasional rant or amusing observation on social/cultural issues.

Concerts4Cats is their labor of love helping abandoned adult cats in need of medical care.

Siena & Toast focus on gentle harmonies in their music and relationship. MAKENA is sponsored by Sam Ash Music and Luna Guitars. Visit them at www.MAKENAmusic.com.
