The annual telethon was held on Monday, September 4th and Heiarii performed in support of his debut album Dance! . He was in great company with one of TV's busiest hosts Tom Bergeron (Dancing With The Stars, America's Funniest Home Videos, Hollywood Squares). First broadcast over Labor Day weekend in 1966 by just one TV station in New York City, the unique event starring popular comedian Jerry Lewis quickly caught the public's attention - and raised more than $1 million.

Tahitian Born Singer/Dancer Delivers a Cutting Edge
Electronic Pop-Dance Album with his CD debut of 'Dance!'
Los Angeles-based Tahitian Pop singing sensation Heiarii went home Saturday night with the "Best Pop Artist of 2005" award given by All Access Magazine at a sold-out third annual All Access Magazine Awards Ceremony held at Paladino's in the Valley. The magazine is widely known for being dedicated to promoting live music and local L.A. artists. You can see the complete list of winners at http://allaccessmagazine.com/2005_winners.html .
Heiarii was born in Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia, where he taught himself the English language and eventually began singing at the age of six. It didn't take Heiarii long to make a career decision and by the time he turned 15 he was singing and dancing his way into the Winners' Circle at every major competition he could enter. Heiarii came out the winner in Tahiti's Search for Stars Contest, Original French Song Contest, and was voted Tahiti's Most Promising Singer and Best Male Vocalist in Hawaii. Whether he sang in English or French, Heiarii's angelic voice touched people everywhere. Heiarii sang his hit "You Took My Heart Away" to 400+ people in attendance at the TAXI road rally last Friday and left them in tears with his strong performance.
Kenny Kerner (legendary producer for KISS, Gladys Knight, Jose Feliciano and Badfinger) teamed with British producer/engineer Cameron Leonard-Schroff to deliver Heiarii's contemporary, cutting-edge electronic pop-dance CD filled with creative beats, pounding rhythms and soaring melodies. In addition to a killer cover of the KISS classic, "I Was Made For Loving You," Dance! boasts four ballads that truly showcase this artist's amazing voice: "You Took My Heart Away," "Love Is To Set Free," "Haunting My Heart," and "Mon Paradis" a song about his native Tahiti sung in French.
