We Stranded Records Strives to Bring Talent From the Most Remote Locations in Hawaii to the Spotlight
The world is filled with extraordinarily gifted people who excel in many areas, from athletics to various forms of art. Onlookers who see their development often provide them with encouragement and support to take their skills to the next level, bringing them to the attention of agents and talent scouts. Occasionally, some individuals want to help these prodigies by creating an outlet where they can shine. Main Ray Madera is one of those who want to bring the spotlight to some of the rising stars of Hawaii through his brand, We Stranded Records.
The Big Island of Hawaii is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is also chock full of individuals who excel in various forms of art. Deira and The Big Homie Lo are two Polynesian artists that have been making a name for themselves and bringing pride to the Hawaiian musician culture. The pair is currently signed with Madera’s record label We Stranded Records. They have been taking their talents to new heights and bringing the spotlight to the Aloha state, inspiring other talented individuals to take the chance to shine.
We Stranded Records is established in one of the largest islands of Hawaii. Although it is not the highest populated area, it has not fallen short of talented individuals. Madera created the brand when he realized there was no other outlet to represent the local talent properly. Although there were a couple of entertainment groups, they were not fully showcasing the talent from a branding standpoint. Madera felt that the youth needed a name to symbolize hope for their craft and talent. Taking matters into his hands, Main Ray Madera established a label to create something worth striving for in the community and the state.
The record label currently houses two audio engineers, three producers, one video editor, and two videographers. Despite their small size, the team has been doing an excellent job in showcasing what Deira and The Big Homie Lo can bring to the music industry. While the team is located on the Big Island, We Stranded Records also has representatives on Maui and Oahu’s islands.
We Stranded Records is more than just a one-man-band. The seven individuals working behind the curtains strive to make the first successful hip-hop genre-related record label in the state of Hawaii on The Big Island and bring their success to national attention. As one of the rural areas in the world abundant with talent, outlets to showcase Hawaii’s talents are very limited. We Stranded Records is the first of its kind. Although there are other record labels and entertainment companies, We Stranded is the only one to be fully trademarked and recognized by the better business bureau.
Despite being a new company, We Stranded Records is growing its own individuality as the first hip-hop based genre-related record label in Hawaii. Main Ray Madera and his team foresee the brand getting recognized in Hawaii and nationally. They hope to sign more talents from the islands and bring them to a celebrity status.
