“No matter where we go, we represent Hawaii. It’s our home and it’s a constant reminder that even though we are in the middle of the ocean, we are making our dreams come true. So you can too. Always keep pushing, no matter what we go through in life – we can make it if we try!” – The Steppas stated

‘Stay’ contains an endearing narrative, ear-welcoming vocals, and tuneful melodies that are certain to pull at your heartstrings. Also, the touching tune possesses rhythmic instrumentation flavored with enchanting roots-reggae vibration.

“I want to make you a promise that I’ll be here for a lifetime.”

The Steppas have toured various venues and festivals across the continental U.S. such as California Roots Festival, Dry Diggings, and Pure Aloha Festival. Also, they have been special guests to top billboard charting bands including Tribal Seeds, Fortunate Youth, and The Skints. Furthermore, they have opened for GRAMMY-winning Morgan Heritage, Iration, Common Kings, and The Green. Accomplished in their own rights, The Steppas mark on the reggae arena has placed their name among not only some of the best in Hawaii, but also mapped on the new generation of worldwide reggae.
