As excitement builds for ResFest 2025, Fiji’s very own KUKI is preparing to take the stage at the Vodafone Arena on June 14, delivering a performance that promises to be one of the festival’s highlights.
With over a decade in the industry, KUKI has become a leading figure in Fiji’s contemporary music scene, blending traditional island rhythms with modern sounds. His music speaks to Fijian identity, carrying themes of storytelling, community, and heritage that resonate deeply with audiences.
The inaugural ResFest 2025 theme, “Our Journey,” is about honoring the past, embracing the present, and shaping the future of Fijian music. Presented by Resonance Entertainment, the festival brings together some of Fiji’s most recognized talents, including InsideOut, Marama, Vegas 6, and Fo Sho, making it an event not to be missed.
KUKI’s solo set will feature some of his most loved songs, giving audiences a
chance to relive the moments that have made his music special. But this year, he has a surprise in store – his deeply emotional song “Noqu Vanua” will play a
special role in his performance, bringing audiences into a moment that connects past and present, honoring the land, people, and traditions that define Fiji.
Inspiring a Generation – KUKI’s Influence on Young People
Fiji’s music industry has changed drastically over the years. Where local artists once took a back seat to international sounds, today, Fiji’s youth proudly embrace homegrown talent. KUKI is one of the pioneering artists leading this shift, creating music that tells real stories, holds meaning, and reflects the voices of young Fijians.
His impact is seen everywhere – from school talent shows to social media, young people are learning his songs, covering his music, and celebrating his artistry. His ability to blend tradition with a fresh, modern style has made him a role model for aspiring musicians, proving that Fijian music deserves the spotlight.
One standout moment that showed his connection to fans was when a young girl, Sala – a devoted KUKI fan – had her entire birthday party themed after him. To her surprise, KUKI himself showed up at her home, turning her dream into reality. This moment reflects his genuine connection with his audience, proving that his impact goes far beyond the stage.
“ResFest 2025 is a celebration of our stories – a journey of struggles and
triumphs, that would resonate with fellow Fijians,” KUKI shares. “Music has always been our way of expressing that journey, and I’m excited to bring it to life on stage.”
