In 1995 Lole Released Her First Single “Just Wanna” After Signing A Contract With Papa Pacific Label. However Shortly Papa Pacific Virtually Sold Her Contract To Deepgrooves Since The Former Was Planning To Close. Lole Didn’t Like The Way She Was Forced To Switch Labels. In One Of The Interviews She Talked About This Switch As If It Happened Behind Her Back. Probably It Was The Time When She First Started Thinking About Creating Her Own Independent Label.

The Singer Was Becoming More And More Popular Every Day. It Was Tough To Book Lole Usoali’I For Any Event.

In 2004 Lole Moved To Samoa Where She Created Another Independent Label Roots Down Records. She Made A Decision To Walk Away From The Pop Music And Dedicate Herself To World Music.
