Tenelle’s Full Circle Advances to the Finale

Tenelle Luafalemana, the only Polynesian artist on NBC’s American Song Contest has moved to the semi-finals and on to the finale on the television show’s state to state competition.

If you haven’t seen it, American Song Contest is a music reality competition television series, which sees all 50 U.S. states, five territories and Washington, D.C. compete for the title of Best Original Song, between March 21 and May 9. The show is hosted by Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson.

Throughout her social media platforms, Tenelle has revealed that all of her efforts in advancing in this contest are to lift up all Pacific Islander artists — encompassing the peoples of Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. Polynesia includes Hawaii, Samoa, American Samoa, Tokelau Tahiti and Tonga. Daily, Tenelle will take you through her journey as she progresses through each event. She’s even sending her fans a PDF of her flier to post them everywhere they go, urging people to vote for Tenelle and uplift Pacific Islander artists in this contest.
