"My Hawaii" - the musical autobiography of Ricky Hana. From his legendary party and surfing days in Waikiki, to his rebirth atop Haleakala Crater on Maui, and to his final salvation and redemption, Ricky Hana brings you an intense, soulful, and beautiful look into his life in Hawaii.
1) "SUMMER WAIKIKI" - Go to town and suck up the frenzied beach scene at the most popular beach in the world. I wrote this song on the 4th of July 2007 in Waikiki. Man, I love south shore. In fact, I'm thinking of buying my own table at the Cheesecake Factory....
2) Listen to the wistful "NO MONEY NO HONEY" "SUNRISE HALEAKALA" "NANI PUKANA LA" "MAHALO KE AKUA" "2nd REEF PIPELINE" "WAIMEA BAY"

Who is Ricky Hana??? "I write the songs with my soul. I play songs from my heart.
I chase the song, not the gold record.
I give my fans my all.
I am a rich man."
- Ricky Hana 2009
Reviews:
"Ricky Hana displays such versatility and imagination with the lyrics of the first two songs on this unpretentious artist's demo" - Honolulu Star-Bulletin
"Hana makes a great first impression with "Summer Waikiki" as he combines an updated list of traditional hapa-haole images -- "suntan oil, bodies on the beach in the summer sun, " "going to a party tonight, " "my shaka brah surfboard, " "G-string divas" -- with rock guitars and reggae rhythms. The lyrics ring true in describing an enticing summer playground. The song would be a perfect anthem for a "Come to Hawaii" campaign aimed at hip young 20-somethings. HVCB, are you listening?" - Honolulu Star Bulletin
"There's a serious musician looming here, too, with a ki ho'alu-laced and tranquil "Sunrise Haleakala" (the best track on the disc)" - Honolulu Advertiser
"
"Ricky Hana multitasks on this, his first CD; he's singer, composer, guitar and 'ukulele strummer, producer, sound mixer, session master, photographer, etc. His zeal to be a do-all-and-everything dude cannot be denied as he shares a variety of styles, from a rock-edge glimpse of Island living in "Summer Waikiki, " to a mini-down-and-out novelty dubbed "No Money, No Honey" with a voice that uses upper registers (and whistling)" - Honolulu Advertiser
