KU’U ‘AINA ALOHA CD RELEASE- March 2020<\/mark><\/strong>
Na Hoku Hanohano Awards, NOMINEE FINALIST for Hawaiian Album of the Year 2021.<\/strong><\/mark>
It’s been a long awaited anticipation for this project that began in 2015. My promise is that you get to enjoy this Ku\u2019u \u2018Aina Aloha album. It\u2019s been such a bliss to work with great musicians whom I thank wholeheartedly.
Nathan Aweau, Steven Espaniola, Tarvin Makia, Al Villaren, Tadd Aiona, Jim Cramer, Joe Napeahi, Keith Greeninger and Dave Tucciarone spear headed their time and aloha on this project with me . Truly thankful and an honor to record at home on O’ahu. A goal I have had for a long time in my career since the North Shore is “home for me.”
Recorded with Seventh Wave Recording Studio in Salt Lake.
*Produced by Dave Tucciarone, co-produced by Faith Ako, recorded, mixed and mastered by the Grammys\/Na Hoku Hanohano Award Winning Producer.
A true journey of hard work with four years in the making. Got nothing but love for our hawaiian music.
Mahalo nui loa to my musician brothers and Dave Tucciarone, #youROCK!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has always been my long awaited goal to record an English Album. I thought maybe a Jazzy style would be a great switch and change for me so Tarvin Makia gave me a shot and said let’s go for it. Recorded this album in Kihei, Maui with an awesome producer from Wailuku, Mr. Robert Tsuhako. Also some of Maui’s greatest musicians we got on board with Mr. Sal Godinez, Gilbert Emata, James Somera, Josh Greenbaum, Marcus Johnson, Paul Marchetti, Kala’e Camarillo, Luana Hamauku Malloy, I thought WOW, how blessed I am to know these great hawaiians. Mahalo everyone for your aloha and support, also to Shooting Stars Photography, Jamie Lawrence, Creekmore-Behasa Design, Hideo Ako, Kumu Hula Shawna Alapa’i, radio dj’s from the West & East Coasts, Hawai’i, Japan and the Pacific Northwest!<\/strong><\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
