Here's a list off the top of my head of people who's music influenced me deeply. (In no particular ordrer) Paul Mcartney, John Lennon, Brian May, Freddie Mercury, Eddie Van Halen, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, Cazimero Brothers, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Makaha Sons of Niihau, my family, Sheryl Crow, Gipsy Kings, Kikaida, Rainbow Man, Live, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Gabby Pahinui, Led Zepplin, Kalapana, Cecilio & Kapono, Sarah McLauglan, Janis Joplin, Britney Spears, Soprano's theme, Michael Angelo, Beethoven, Bach and just about every bit of music I've ever listened to.
Sounds LikeWAYNE HARADA CD REVIEW: HONOLULU ADVERTISER April 20, 2007. And newcomer Sean Tiwanak demonstrates the healing power of music with his debut CD. "Home To Me" by Sean Tiwanak; Na'io Productions Genre: World music. Distinguishing notes: Music has been a therapeutic element in the life of singer-composer Sean Tiwanak, who was challenged with congestive heart failure but found solace and strength in the 18-month process of recording this, his debut CD. Tiwanak sings, strums 'ukulele and delves into traditional Island percussion implements like ipu and 'ili'ili. Thus, this CD is both a celebration of his talent and an inspiration for others with bumps in their road — who may discover the value of music for healing and expression. Tiwanak's originals are simple yet eloquent impressions of the joys of life, in English ("Aloha Uhane — Ooh Honey," "Lori Baby"), in Hawaiian ("A Ke Kai") and in both languages ("Home To Me"). The catchy refrains of "Hula Love/The Tide Is High" could be the key track that captures Tiwanak's zest for life; the medley certainly has commercial appeal with its reggae-lite bounce. Perhaps a line from his liner notations sums it up best: "Welcome to the soundtrack of my life." Our take: Give a listen; everyone loves an underdog success story.
