B.E.T.
Big Every Time is part of the Hawaiʻi island-reggae generation that worked directly with FIJI in the studio and on stage.
A studio relationship preserved across multiple recordings.
B.E.T. and FIJI share a direct recording history. On B.E.T.’s 2007 album Big Every Time, George appears on “Hook It Up 2” and “Crying for Peace.”
“Hook It Up 2” credits George Veikoso as a composer and FIJI as one of the song’s producers. B.E.T. also appears on FIJI’s 2001 album Transition on “Kickin’ It with Poly’s.”
That back-and-forth collaboration reflects the network George helped build around Hawaiʻi’s island music scene — artists appearing on one another’s records, producing together, and strengthening the sound as a community.

Big Every Time — part of Hawaiʻi’s island-reggae foundation.
B.E.T., short for Big Every Time, has been part of Hawaiʻi’s island-reggae and R&B scene for decades. Their catalog includes local favorites such as “Hook It Up,” “Reggae Love,” “Good Ol Days,” and “If It Ain’t Real Love.”
Across the years, B.E.T. has collaborated with a wide circle of Pacific and reggae artists, including FIJI — making their place in the FIJI Fest story both musical and historical.
One stage. One legacy.
