The name One Inity is rooted in the term "Ini," a Rastafarian expression meaning you and me, or we, combined with the word Unity. The face of One Inity is a mixture of culture, ethnicity, background, and style. They have been labeled by some as the reggae "Black Eyed Peas" because of their fusion of male and female vocalists. With four singers, two male and two female, all frontrunners in their own right, they take the listener on a diversified musical journey.
Jose Tabisola is one of the three original members of One Inity and sings and plays ukulele. Logan "Kaniela" Kealoha, also one of the original members, sings and plays guitar. Aaron Kahahane, the third founding member and original bass player, is now bubbling on the keys. Bryan Amodo, the forth pillar to join One Inity, is the man on the drums. Leilani Stark has been singing with the band since the age of 16, minus a short absence. Kai Pilger united with One Inity right before the release of One Life and has been holding down the bass line ever since. Keyboardist Turner Horton moved to Maui in February, 2010, and almost immediately hooked up with the band. Uilani "Kalisi" Tau is one of the newest members to join forces with One Inity and has been singing since she can remember.
Being an independent label can be a struggle for a new band, especially in a market that is saturated with people trying to make it in the competitive music industry. But good music speaks for itself and One Inity has been busy branding a sound and style that is uniquely theirs. They are scheduled to get back in the studio in January, 2011, and begin laying tracks for their sophomore album. Having positioned themselves as one of the hottest new bands coming out of Hawaii, anticipation on the new release is already building. Anyone who has had the pleasure of hearing their music or seeing them play live knows that they are witnessing a rising reggae sensation.

One Inity Lyrics

Ooooooh
Thought life would be better
If you spent it with another
Thought the grass would be greener,
If you left me for her,
The glass would be cleaner,
Thought the skies would be clearer,
The sun would shine brighter...
Ooh you were so wrong
And now your singing your
Remoreseful song, song
And you, wish you didn't move on
Oh but honey ur, mistakes they cant be undone
Undone
Thought the bond would last longer,
And the passion'd be stronger
Thought ur life would be easier
Ur flirting with disaster
Thought you found a hidden treasure
Her wealth wasn't richer
Thought you could divide a conquer
The honeymoons over
Ooh you were so wrong
U underestimated me all along, along
And you, thought i couldn't move on
Oh but honey the love,
For you is now gone, now gone
What now your not a believer
Cuz the tensions getting steamier
You know you made an error
The grass wasn't greener
Her reflections in the mirror
It isn't any clearer
Now you see her true demeanor
Your ready to leave her
You said you had to get it off your chest
You wish you never left
What a situation, oh what a mess
You know i was the best
Your promises were meaningless
Now you live with your regrets
Stuck in your self made mess, oh yes
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yeaaa... ooohh yea yea yeaaah
Greener, thought it would be greener
Greener, thought it would be greener greener,
Ooh (oooh)
You were so wrong (one day you'll see)
And now your singing, ur singing your
Remorseful song (oooh), song
And you though i couldn't move on
Oh now honey my love
For you is now gone, now gone(ooh oohh)
Greener, thought it would be greener
Greener though it would be greener, greener, greener
Ooh yea, greener yea, greener oooh
Greener thought it would be greener

eu tinha um cd com várias musicas de reggae em 2012, e essa era a primeira música do cd. perdi o cd há muito tempo, e não lembrava o nome dela. Hoje, 20/06/2022, revirando arquivos de um hd antigo, eis que acho a pasta de músicas. a primeira musica que toca é ela. Eu chorei de alegria! Nunca mais ela sai da minha vida.
