Born and raised on the North Shore of O'ahu, Daesha Dee-Lehua Johnson (Daesha-Dee) was surrounded by music her entire life. Her awe-inspiring talent was established at a very young age of 3 years old, when Daesha-Dee was given her first Karaoke toy kit. From family style backyard kanikapila, to Mentor Aunty Nalani Choy (from Na Leo), to church influences (Uncle Kelly Boy, Natalie Grant, Crystal Lewis, Rachael Lampa, Helen Baylor, the list goes on), Daesha-Dee has maintained many aspects she developed during her musical upbringing. Daesha-Dee was heavily involved in church choirs and musicals for a majority of her life, which has taught her accountability, stage presence, vocal range capability, humility, and appreciation for the arts. Mentor Aunty Nalani Choy is a major influence in her life, being in the music business herself for quite some time. She instilled in Daesha-Dee the musical tools of song writing, pitch control, harmonies and vocal runs, while exposing her to many business aspects of musical creation and development by observing Na Leo banquets and performances. She used these tools throughout her high school journey in talent show performances, in which she was very successful and placed in every year. Her passion of music continued throughout college, where she became a part of the women's ensemble and later joined the Divine women's acapella group at Oregon State University. After graduating from college, she moved to Maui and continued to pursue her passion of singing which has landed her numerous music “gigs” at venues such as the Plantation House in Kapalua, the Sands of Kahana, and currently at Lulu's Lahaina. Her first single, “Can't Get Enough,” featuring Ikaiaka Keawekane from CP2, was a pivotal moment for Daesha-Dee when it hit radio stations in Maui. Through social media, fellow musician and producer Pono Patoc, then reached out to Daesha-Dee to record another single which she entitled, “Liebrarian” (which you can now purchase on all online musical retail stores, also call into request on your local radio stations). She continues to grow in her music style, as she wants to incorporate reggae, along with a blend of rock, r&b, neo-soul, and jazz to showcase her vocal talent. Much of Daesha-Dee's original material will challenge the social and political stigmas we all live and abide by on a daily basis all the while promoting conscious awareness in a positive light.
