In 2015, a partnership was formed with serial entrepreneur Scott “DJ Skee” Keeney to launch the Island Block station on the DASH Radio platform. At its height reaching over 5 million listeners worldwide, Island Block Radio stands as one of the only ethnic media outlets in the continental U.S. to represent the Pacific Islander populace at large through its pacific contemporary and indigenous (Polyn
esian, Micronesian and Melanesian) music as well as its original curated content by real DJs and social influencers. Notable figures like Dwayne Johnson, Dinah Jane, J Boog, Fiji, Ali Campbell (UB40), The Green, Alex Aiono, Troy Polamalu, Alessia Cara, and Common Kings have all blessed the Island Block Radio airwaves since its inception. A new normal was born out of the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, and Island Block Radio, adapting to its current climate transitioned out of its partnership with DASH and launched its own independent media platform, Island Block Network (IBN). The mission of Island Block Network is to serve Pacific Islander Americans, the pan-Oceanian community, and consumers of Pacific culture globally by informing, empowering and entertaining.
