PEAU.PAYOW (pronounced pay-ow payow) is an electronic-based artist-producer, DJ, songwriter, and musician from the heart of Hollywood California. His alias name of 'PEAU' means wave in Tongan, a sacred nod to his Tongan (and Samoan) heritage.
As a human first, his sole focus is on connecting individuals in a world that is so disconnected through his music. He is an artist creating art that inspires people to hold space for themselves and thus, each other collectively. His musical roots and influences derive from R&B, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip Hop, Soul, Jazz, House, Disco & Funk but isn’t shy to flirt with the shadow in the forms of Jungle, Techno, EBM, Dark Wave and Industrial. You might also even hear some remixes and homages to classic psych-rock bands like WITCH, Ultimate Spinach, Jimi Hendrix & more.
