“He was a movement, a voice for the people, a light in the dark,” a statement on Facebook said.
“There was, and always will be, only one Fiji. His music wasn’t just something we listened to.”
Veikoso co-wrote the Baywatch Hawaii theme song and the popular drama was filmed on Hawaii between 1999 and 2001.

“I love you Fiji more than words.”
Elliott shared throwback snaps of the pair smiling.
