new Single -
The Promise of Dawn
No matter what life throws at us, it is reassuring knowing that our beacon of hope lies in the anticipation of waking up to a new day, with the calmness and clarity needed to persevere and overcome our struggles. This is the essence of my new song, “The Promise of Dawn.”

Ko’olau Lullaby
My new single released on Mar 1, 2024.
(Over 640,000 Pandora streams. Thank you for listening to Pandora!)
Whenever I drive over the Pali to the Windward side of Oahu, there stands one of the most beautiful mountain ranges on planet Earth. I hope the pure slack key guitar style of my new original “Ko’olau Lullaby” delivers the calming spirit that I feel in the presence of the majestic Ko’olau mountain range.

“Radiance” is a culmination of singles released in year 2023. My love for composing music inspired me to release a song every four weeks. Each song is a reflection of life experiences that often come with struggles. Receiving nature and music along the way helped me to maintain a happy balance.
