In today's high-tech, shrinking world, high quality studios are easier to come by, and musicians are empowered more than ever before. Still, few are able to penetrate the throng. Enter emerging Indie artist, Kamuela Kahoano, the composing, performing, gravity defying dream catcher who's got a "ticket to play." From the remote island of Oahu, Hawaii (where Jack Johnson resides), Kamuela has left his mark in several cities spanning New York to Japan. Kamuela has performed on stage with some of the greatest entertainers Hawaii has to offer, including radio/TV personality, emcee and living legend, Kimo Kahoano (a.k.a. dad), Marlene Tsai, Melveen Leed, emerging talents, David Asing, Kapono Nailiili Tahiti Rey...etc. Kamuela has been hailed as the "Happy Music Maker" with his dynamic use of consonant harmonies, witty prose, catchy melodies and lush textures. Add in clever, sometimes hilarious banter exchange and high-energy that he displays at every live performance, and you get a mainstream formula that truly entertains. Kamuela's newest song, "Grumpy (She's Grumpy It's My Fault)," is Kamuela's radio breakout song, and he plays it at almost every gig. Go get it on itunes if you don't already have it...it's a great solve for grumpiness.

A dedicated music enthusiast (addict) since birth, Kamuela spent most of his childhood mastering the compositional techniques of other artists like Dave Matthews, Third Eye Blind U2, Coldplay, Ani DiFranco, Blackstar, the Beatles Johnny Cash, John Mayer, Bob Marley, Kaau Krater Boys, Boyz II Men, Journey, etc. (e.g. Classical/Jazz/Hip Hop). Kamuela's first instrument was the ukulele at 6 years old, although he would eventually learn several other instruments well enough to record and mix his first CD, Green Light Go (Green Light Go Productions) in 2006. A self taught composer until age 20, Kamuela entered the college of Music composition at the University of Hawaii at Manoa on scholarship and with no prior training. Less than 3 years later Kamuela evolved into a classical music theory buff. To the dismay of many non-believers, Kamuela also entered the University, Chamber and Symphony Choirs, under the direction of Dr. Karen Kennedy. By the time he was 23, Kamuela already completed four full-scale symphonic works and could, in fact, carry a decent tune. Four years later, Kamuela has played over 250 gigs in the past 1 1/2 years and is still only scratching the surface of his full musical potential.

Kamuela currently resides in Honolulu HI, where he performs regularly in a Duo with David Asing, appropriately titled "David and Kamuela," or as a solo act, at various hotel establishments in Waikiki (Hale Koa, Outrigger, Hilton, Resort Quest, Sheraton, Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, etc.). Kamuela is currently producing two new CDs for release in late 2008 and 2009
