HIRIE

HIRIE, whose name is Trish Jetton, is a Hawaiian reggae artist whose music blends island roots with the universal warmth and positivity of reggae. Traveling the world and absorbing diverse cultures inspired her love for the genre, while her stage name—combining “H” for Hawaii and “irie,” a Jamaican patois term representing joy, peace, and positivity—reflects her mission: “HIRIE is a lifestyle choice, it’s about healing the body, the mind, and the spirit.” Fans embrace this ethos, often exclaiming, “let’s get HIRIE,” as a way to detach from life’s complexities and bask in uplifting energy. Her career began with her self-titled debut album in 2013, which introduced her sunny, island-inspired sound. After three years of touring, she released her defining sophomore album, Wandering Soul (2016), produced with Danny Kalb and partnered with Rootfire Collective. The album showcased expanded instrumentation, including horns, dub techniques, and psychedelic textures, and was supported by tours with Nahko & Medicine for the People, Tribal Seeds, Iration, and JBoog on The Rebelution Tour. HIRIE’s third album, Dreamer (2019), further demonstrated her versatility, blending reggae, rock, and smooth pop into a cohesive sound. Alongside her, a talented band brings her music to life: Chris Hampton on saxophone, Andrew McKee on trombone, Andres Flores on bass, Blaine Dillinger on lead guitar, Shiabe Bok on keys, Jason J on rhythm guitar, and Matt Benoit on drums. The hit single “Sensi Boy,” which has over 1.3 million YouTube views, earned her a nomination for San Diego’s Best Music Award and radio play across Hawaii, Guam, New Zealand, Tahiti, and other tropical regions, solidifying HIRIE as a globally recognized and uplifting force in modern reggae.
