a talented musician deeply immersed in her Island Reggae paradise.

Growing up in North Kohala,

Her parents, Lorna Lim (renowned for hits like "Pua Olena" and "Ku’uipo") and Wailau Ryder (a Hawaiian Slack-key artist and Music Producer), along with her family's award-winning Hawaiian music group, "The Lim Family of Kohala," nurtured her love for music from an early age.

Wehilei carries the torch of her heritage while forging her own path in the industry. She has created a captivating blend of heartfelt, inspirational reggae music infused with pop structures and a touch of Hawaiian flare.
