The Live Musician
I Play with Feeling!
Whether I’m on stage or in the studio, my goal is to share my unique take on classic music and forge a deep connection with my audience. Music, for me, is a powerful therapeutic tool—a way to express emotions and messages that resonate not just with me but with everyone in the room. What sets me apart as a live musician is my intentional song selection, designed to reflect my own emotions while helping my audience feel whatever they need to in that moment.
I Bring a lot sound!
For most of my shows, I bring a dynamic one-man band setup that lets me create and layer virtually any sound required for the song. With a state-of-the-art live microphone, a hand-drum machine, a variety of acoustic and electric guitars, and a powerful 5-track looper, I can build tracks live, replicating the richness of a full band. This setup enables me to capture the spirit of every song I play. With a multi-genre, multi-decade repertoire of over 2,000 popular and iconic songs, I’m ready to take on almost any request during my gigs in Waikiki and Hawaii Kai, delivering memorable and engaging renditions that keep the audience hooked.
Why My Performances Stand Out
As a former restaurant front-of-house employee, I made a commitment early on to keep my performances dynamic, ensuring that no venue staff would ever hear the same set in the same order twice. That dedication to versatility and freshness is a core part of my live shows today. While I primarily focus on performing well-loved cover songs, I always infuse my own style and emotion into each one. What truly makes my performances unique is the depth of feeling I pour into every song. My goal is to take the audience on an emotional journey, creating a shared experience that taps into the wide range of human emotions, from joy to heartbreak, and everything in between.
