This song tells the story of the famed Demigod, Maui. Or as IZ sings it, “The Hawaiian Superman”. Once he released this song it took on a life of its own, with people calling IZ “The Hawaiian Superman” and when the Disney film Moana being released it only grew from there! Full performance at the link in the bio. #hawaiian #maui #moana #hawaiiansuperman #therock #fyp #legend #iz #livemusic
