Makua Rothman

An award-winning professional surfer and spokesperson for brands like RVCA, Oakley, and Monster Energy Drink, Makua Rothman launched his music profession in 2012. Blessed and elevated in Oahu, Hawaii, Rothman overcame issues like youth asthma and a body body supposedly “too large” for browsing, and eventually continued to earn the Billabong XXL Big Influx Challenge Prize in 2002, aswell as the O’Neill Globe Glass in 2007. Even while, he discovered to try out the ukulele, learning the device with greats like Iz Kamakawiwo’ole and Ledward Kaapana. While schooling with family members friend and professional boxing trainer Rob Garcia, Rothman floated the thought of a new profession in picture taking, but Garcia was too large a enthusiast of the surfer’s reggae-pop music to not recommend giving music a go. Motivated, Rothman released Makanale Street in 2012, an EP that captured the attention from the Hawaiian label Hill Apple, who agreed upon him a calendar year afterwards. His debut record, Sound Wave, made an appearance over the label in 2013.
