Tonton Malele is launching his Maimai Inc. Volume 1 album videos at the Cosmopolitan tonight with an exclusive screening of all ten music videos of the songs on the Album from 6pm till midnight.
In an effort to showcase his passion for music and creativity, the 21-year old stated that inspiration struck after the release of hit single ‘Pikini Niu Ailan’ in 2022 that was recorded with Jayrex and Nene Morus.
“When we released Pikini Niu Ailan, we saw how successful the song was and we just thought-why don’t we start working on a project. That’s when we started working on the songs for the album.”
He stated that the Maimai Inc. Volume 1 album was the first in a series of three albums that he will be releasing soon.
“There’s going to be three Maimai Inc. albums, so Volume 1, 2 and 3.”
He revealed that the music videos were unlike any other music video, as they included short films with a story behind each song.
“Each video is a shot film depicting a storyline and the message behind the song.”
