ABOUT demi dopamine

I’m Demi Dopamine — a multidisciplinary artist, music producer, illustrator, poet, screenplay writer, non-profit leader, and entrepreneur. Born in National City, San Diego and raised mostly on the island of Oʻahu, I moved to Maui over a decade ago, where I’ve built a creative life rooted in culture, community, and expression. My heritage — Japanese, Filipino, Native American, Caucasian, and Canadian — brings a rich, cross-cultural flavor to everything I create.

As a producer, my breakout came with “Ganja Love” by Alex Milani and Nalani Kai, a track I produced that dropped on 4/20/2024 and still airs on the radio. On March 9, 2025, I released “Lost & Found” with my muse and life partner Vince Esquire — the first single from our upcoming electronic album, Infinity Vol. 1, set to release in summer 2025.

I’m also a published illustrator and poet, with original artwork, mindful coloring books, and poetry collections available right here on my site. I craft vegan chia puddings for Nalu’s South Shore Grill in Kihei, with a portion of proceeds supporting New Creation Jiu-Jitsu in Wailuku — a beloved space for youth and community healing.

Currently, I’m working on a global poetry-meets-music project featuring my compositions alongside poets from around the world. The project will be released across all major streaming platforms, including YouTube, and presented as a touring art installation.

This site brings together everything I love — sound, story, visuals, and soul-fueled food. Mahalo for being part of the journey!
