The episode dives into Tongi's musical journey, from his childhood in Hawaii, dealing with his father's health challenges, to his triumphant win on American Idol. Experience heartfelt stories, cultural insights, and the bond with his supportive uncle.
I just watched this podcast and had so much fun watching all of you guys, especially Iam!! I first saw him when he auditioned on American Idol, voted for him every time and was ecstatic when he won! I have followed him ever since and have been to two of his concerts in Virginia. He is so genuine and so talented and I love watching him! By the way, I am a 74 year old Great-Grandmother who adores him. Your podcast and all of you guys are incredible! Thank you!
Went to School with Iam and his brothers, and I can confirm this guy would walk around with his guitar in slippers with no backpack around school 🤣🤣🤣🤟🏾 ofa atu iam.
My favorite human. You continue to be so grounded despite your popularity and fame, reason why we are so in love with you Iam Tongi. And much respect to your Uncle Manatau, I can so much of your good nature from him. Keep happy.
That " mfing song" got us all. Dont worry😊

Loved the podcast. The hour and 9 minutes flew by. Iam is an amazing young man. Not only for his magical voice. As a person he is just amazing. Everybody just loves him. His uncle is the best.

Well done, guys. Great interview. Iam - just love you for your honesty. You truly are the best.❤
This felt less like a podcast and more like family hanging out and catching up. Thank you guys for using this platform to bring our culture to the mainstream. And thank you to Iam, the Tongi Aiga, and for this podcast for reppin our culture well. Malo lava le taumafai
I was very disappointed with myself, because I allowed you to get to me with that damn song!!😂 Much Alofas..
great interview loved the part where you brought the uncle too. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Agreed... and the part about teasing when he said "you choose to be offended" just makes sense.
Big fan 🎉🎉🎉
