The Hollywood Times recently spoke with the brother/sister duo to talk about their career and concert at Blue Note Hawaii tonight.

Get out those headphones/earbuds and enjoy our phone conversation:

Brother and sister, Ammon 19, and Liahona 18, the oldest of 9 kids; when they were younger lived in a tent on the Big Island of Hawaii, to be closer to their family and to learn about their Hawaiian heritage. They lived off the land, had a pet goat, and discovered they could write music. Ammon and Liahona got their American Idol chance from making a zoom video audition. They got a call two weeks later from the Executive Producers giving them the opportunity to go to the show. Ammon and Liahona flew to San Diego where they auditioned for the first time, and the rest is history.

Ammon and Liahona will be performing songs from their highly anticipated album of self-penned original songs entitled, “Gotta Move On.” Ammon and Liahona, released their recent Christian/ Pop cross over music video “Pray to God”, on YouTube on July 19. In less than 3-weeks it has over 3 million views. The single was  released on August 15 on all digital platforms. Their songs are truly a blessed mix of smoky ballads, “Came From Heaven”, to upbeat top 40 toe tapping ditty, “What True Love is All About”, to “Mamacita’s” original Latin grooves, and then there’s, “Gotta Move On”, which will no doubt explode as a historic love anthem. The stylized blending of both Ammon and Liahona’s voices are as smooth as it gets, this is a once in a lifetime sound. Excitement is building, and both Ammon and Liahona are ready to deliver.

These now Utah siblings; Ammon and Liahona have enjoyed huge success ever since their original song “Listen To My Heart” (now called “I Don’t Wanna Be Alone”) debuted on the ever-popular television show, American Idol in 2021. The song went viral and launched their career. Receiving standing ovations from Luke Bryan, it has now garnered over 11.4 million views.
