Legacy Commissions
A deeply personal song to honor a parent, a grandparent, a marriage, a life. Written from the stories only your family knows, so the people you love are remembered in their own melody.
Commission a song
Tell us the story. We’ll find the melody.
Turn your story into an original, meaningful song crafted with aloha. Whether it’s a milestone, a legacy gift, a business mission, or a message you want the world to hear, every piece is written with purpose, warmth, and genuine storytelling.
100%human. No AI vocals, no stock beats.

Three ways to commission
Who is the song for?
Each commission is written from a genuine story, rooted in the heritage of Hawaiʻi, and produced with white-glove care from first call to final master.
Brand Anthems
A custom jingle or anniversary song that says what your company stands for, with real emotion instead of a stock track. Built to be remembered and to be sung along to.
Impact Anthems
An awareness song that carries a message further than a flyer ever could, created alongside our Founding Sponsors to raise support for the work that lifts Hawaiʻi.
How it works
From talk story to a song that lasts.
Three steps. One conversation to start. You shape the song at every stage.
1
Talk story
A conversation with Roger about the person, the milestone, or the mission. Names, places, the phrase everyone remembers them saying. That is the raw material.
No musical background needed. Bring memories.2
Write & record
Lyrics and melody take shape, then a Hawaiʻi vocalist and live musicians bring it to life in the studio. You hear it and refine it with us along the way.
Every note performed by people, never generated.3
Share it forever
Your finished recording arrives ready for the celebration, the memorial, the launch, or the campaign, with the option of a music video to go with it.
A legacy you can press play on.What every commission carries
The Aloha Legacy difference.
Uncompromising authenticity
Every composition is created from genuine stories and human connection. Because true emotion cannot be programmed, every commission relies on real local musicians and the spirit of aloha.
Cultural depth
The work is deeply rooted in the heritage of Hawaiʻi, embodying the true spirit of aloha in every note.
Exceptional craftsmanship
A white-glove, highly intentional production experience from start to finish, and a song your family or organization will return to for generations.
Questions
Before you reach out.
Anything not covered here is exactly what the first conversation is for.
Where can I commission a custom song in Hawaiʻi?
Aloha Legacy Music creates custom, original songs for people across Hawaiʻi, for loved ones, milestones, businesses, and community causes. Share your story with us, and we’ll craft a personalized song that captures your heart and intention.
Who writes and performs the song?
Roger Higa composes every commission. Vocals and instruments are recorded with the Hawaiʻi artists you can meet on the Artists page, matched to the story and the feeling you want the song to carry.
Is any part of it AI-generated?
No. Every commission relies on 100% human authenticity: real writing, real local musicians, real performances. True emotion cannot be programmed.
I have no musical background. Does that matter?
Not at all. You bring the memories, names, places, and the feeling. The writing, arranging, and recording are our work. You hear the song as it takes shape and help refine it.
What does a commission cost, and how long does it take?
Every commission is scoped individually, because a legacy song for a grandparent and an anthem for an anniversary campaign are different projects. Share a few lines about yours and Roger will walk you through the options in the first conversation.
Can the song come with a video?
Yes. Several songs in the catalog have lyric videos and song videos, and a video can be part of your commission if you want one.
Does a commission support the community?
As the studio grows, the vision is to establish a philanthropic foundation supporting community initiatives, youth programs, and local nonprofits across Hawaiʻi. Every commissioned story helps lay that groundwork, and the people we support will be named here as it happens.
