SELA VOX

Sela Hauser-Hafoka is a Polynesian born (Tongan, Hawaiian)/ American artist. Sela started taking voice lessons in California at age 11 and continued her vocal education while singing in choirs during her childhood and teens.
This led to her joining stage production groups, performing musicals to live audiences during the summers of 1994-1996 in San Joaquin County.
From her graduating year, Sela was launched into a year long World Tour with a Non profit organization called “Up with people” (Cast A 1997-98). She performed as a lead singer and main character in a tour that hit over 300 different stages and reached over 150 countries. The tour not only developed her skills as a singer and performer, but gave her the understanding, confidence and experience with managing a voice on a gruelling worldwide tour, understanding song structures and arrangements and being able to listen carefully to the music while singing and performing. Also vocal/singing hygiene, maintenance, care and health during this very long world tour.
At the end of the tour, Sela settled and resided in Switzerland for over 20 years. During this time she developed her skills on a number of different instruments such as Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, Piano and Ukulele. She joined several different bands playing Saxophone, flute and lead vocals, all of which recorded in studios and played stages across Europe. The musical styles ranged from traditional European to classical, to jazz, blues, rock, punk and contemporary pop.
