WELL PONO HAS A
PASSION FOR MUSIC THAT
DANCE BUT IT'SES OF
TALENT WITH THE UKULELE
THAT HAS GIVEN HIM THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HIT THE
STAGE AT ALOHA TOWER.
HE JOINS US WITH MORE.
GOOD MORNING, PONO.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
TELL US ABOUT WHERE YOU
GREW UP AND YOUR MUSICAL
TALENT BECAUSE IT REALLY
VARIES.
I GREW UP IN THE
AREA.
I CALL IT MY TOMORROW.
I'VE BEEN PLAYING
UKULELE ALL MY LIFE
SINCE I WAS SMALL IN THE
HALLWAYS OF MIDDLE
SCHOOL AND THEN
EVENTUALLY WHEN I GOT TO
HIGH SCHOOL, I ENDED UP
DANCING FOR ABOUT 12
YEARS.
I STILL DANCE NOW.
BUT THEN THE CONNECTIONS
I MADE THROUGH DANCE,
THE PEOPLE I'VE MET
THROUGH DANCE, ENDED UP
HAVING A CAREER AND WE
ENDED UP AGAIN LIKE OH,
YEAH, WE SHOULD DO MUSIC
AGAIN.
I STOPPED TO DANCE AND
ALWAYS STILL IN ME.
FROM THERE MY FRIEND
MOTIVATED, HEY, WE
SHOULD DO THIS AGAIN.
JUST LIKE THAT.
SO WE'RE BACK AGAIN.
I'VE BEEN DOING MUSIC
CURRENTLY STRONG
CONSISTENTLY FOR ABOUT
EIGHT MONTHS NOW.
SO THAT HAPPENED WITHIN
AN EIGHT MONTH SPAN OF
ME COMING BACK.
WOW.
IT'S BEEN SUCH A
GREAT RIDE AND SUCH A
SHORT RIDE SINCE THEN.
ALREADY YOU'RE GOING
TO BE AT THE STAGE AT
ALOHA TOWER IN JUNE.
YES, JUNE 22ND WE'RE
GOING TO BE AT ALOHA
TOWER.
OPENING DAYS ARE ME,
CABANA BOYS, YOU HAVE
DREW SINGER.
THEN THE HEAD LINER
WOULD BE WILLIAM SING.
SHE'S AN ARTIST FROM
OUST I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING
SINCE HIS BEGINNING.
HE'S MOSTLY KNOWN FOR
HIS YOUTUBE COVERS.
AND WHAT'S NEXT FOR
YOU, PONO?
RIGHT NOW I'M WORKING
ON A FEW SONGS.
I HAVE AN ORIGINAL.
THE SONG I SAME CALLED
"ROLLER-COASTER" SOON TO
BE IN THE STUDIO.
AND AN ISLAND VERSION
THAT I PUT TOGETHER AND
I HAD TO RECORD IN THE
STUDIOS.
THAT SHOULD BE COMING
OUT SOME TIME IN JUNE.
I'M WAIT FOR THEM TO
DROP.
I'M EXCITED.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO
PERFORM FOR US NOW?
RIGHT NOW I'M GOING
TO BE SINGING "BEST
PART."
IF YOU'D LIKE TO
CATCH MORE OF PONO, HE
WILL BE HITTING THE
STAGE AT ALOHA TOWER
MARKET PLACE.
