MALAYA STAGE

Eli-Mac’s story reads like a fairytale–it’s a musical journey which has turned into an impressive career that took flight with her debut release of her hit five-song EP, entitled Dubstop EP. A proud Filipino growing up in Hawaii, Ciara-Camile (Eli-Mac spelled backwards) Roque Velasco was a rebel early on, combining her island music roots with her love of R&B and hip-hop.At the age of 18, Camile's journey took shape when she landed a spot on the hit TV show American Idol as a Top 10 finalist on Season 3.From there, Eli-Mac went on to record a version of Bob Marley’s “Guava Jelly,” produced by his son Stephen Marley, at Tuff Gong Studios in Jamaica. The track earned her the Hawaii Music Awards’ “Single of the Year.”Since then, Eli-Mac has been touring relentlessly across the US and beyond.Anew studio album is currently in the works for this year,following up on her latest release "Resume" featuring Collie Buddz.

“I am proud to incorporate my upbringing in Hawaii into my music. That culture remains important to me....”
