After more than thirty years living on this island, I’ve learned that true creation begins with deep listening—to the ʻāina, the ocean, the wind, and the rhythms that shape life here.
That listening has become Kai Mana: original Hawaiian fusion music that carries the mana of Maui—power and gentleness, tradition and innovation, depth and joy.
Alongside the music, I continue occasional creative work in photography and graphics, always inspired by the light and spirit of these islands.
Explore the MusicHow did Kai Mana begin?
For decades I drove Maui’s roads with a playlist of thousands of songs, searching for music that truly matched the feeling of this place. Nothing quite did. So I began creating it—blending island soul with modern tools, always guided by heart and aloha.
Why collaborate with AI?
It’s a new instrument, like the slack key guitar once was. The AI helps explore voices, arrangements, and textures, but every lyric, mood, and final choice is mine—human-led, Maui-rooted.
What do you hope listeners feel?
The same vibration I feel here every day: connection, warmth, reverence, and joy. Whether it’s a slow-burn intimate night or a powerful ancestral chant—may it carry a piece of Maui’s mana to you.
Hawaiian fusion across six mood-based albums—from sensual slow jams to ceremonial chants.
