Ilona Irvine
Princess Ilona Irvine is a longtime Hawaiʻi vocalist whose recording history includes direct production and performance work with FIJI.
FIJI helped shape a chapter of Ilona’s recording career.
Ilona Irvine’s connection to FIJI is documented in her 1998 album Princess Ilona, which Hawaiʻi News Now identifies as being produced by Roni Yurong, Lawrence Yurong, and FIJI.
The musical connection also appears directly in her catalog through “Irie” featuring Fiji, preserving George not just behind the scenes as a producer, but on the recording itself.
