THAT'S A SCARY ONE.
MURDER.
HONESTLY, I NEVER GOT
KNOW.
TIME TO MEET ANOTHER
TALENTED MUSICIAN.
HOW'S IT GOING, GUYS?
THANK YOU GUYS FOR
BEING HERE.
MAHALO.
I LOVE THE FACT YOU
GUYS ARE HERE.
I KNOW WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT AN ALBUM
YOU HAVE COMING OUT.
BUT I WANT TO KNOW HOW
YOU ALL MET?
SIMPLE, THIS IS MY
LIKE THAT OLDEST
BROTHER.

GUITARIST.
HE'S ALWAYS THERE IT,
ALWAYS BECK AND CALL
MAUI.
NUMBER ONE GUITARIST

FAMILY.
LYNDON AND I.
WE HAVE SI AMIDDLE
BROTHER BUT WE GREW RUN
GRANDPARENTS SANG
HAWAIIAN MUSIC AS WELL
AS GOSPEL MUSIC SO WE
ALWAYS SANG IN CHURCH.
WHAT ABOUT WRITING
MUSIC.
WRITING MUSIC FOR ME
CAME WITH PAIN.
SO IT WAS TRUE THAT PAIN
COMPOSED MUSIC THROUGH
THAT PAIN.
BUT SOMETIMES IT COMES
OUT WITH ONE OF THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER.
LOOK AT THESE TOP
ARTISTS NOW.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE
YOUR SOUNDS?
I WANT TO DEEP AS
TRADITIONAL AND NOT TOO
MANY I WOULD SAY RIFFS
OR RUNS.
I LOVE TRADITIONAL
HAWAIIAN MUSIC, GOES
BACK TO LINDA DELA CRUZ.
MY MOM'S NAME WAS
ACTUALLY LINDA DELA
CRUZ.
BUT IF ANYBODY KNOWS,
THERE WAS A LINDA DELA
CRUZ BACK THEN.
MAYBE SOME OF THE
INSPIRATIONS THAT HAVE
GUIDED YOU.
YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
I LOST MY MOM WHEN I WAS
18 SO THAT INSPIRED ME
TO WRITE MUSIC.
AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO
RED LIGHTS ONE OF THEM.
I HAVE A FEW THAT I'VE
WRITTEN AND I HAVE NOT
PUT MUSIC, PUT IT OUT
THERE YET BUT THAT'S
GOING TO COME OUT ON MY
ALBUM NEXT YEAR.
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
WHEN, WHERE, H HOW?
I'M WORK ON A SOLO
ALBUM FOR RELEASE NEXT
YEAR SOME TIME, PROBABLY
EARLY NEXT YEAR THAT
WILL HAVE A LITTLE OVER
HALF A DOZEN ORIGINAL
MUSIC, ORIGINAL SONGS
COMPOSED BY MYSELF AND
JUST SOME TRADITIONAL
HAWAIIAN MUSIC THAT IS
OUT THERE ALREADY.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR
BEING HERE, APPRECIATE
IT.
