Ukulele, Rhythm Guitar, Lead/Background Vocals.

Experience - Since I can remember, I always had a deep love for music. I picked up the Ukulele at the age of 11 and haven't put it down since! Formed a group (Ka'ena) in High School and later went on to record an album with them. I also performed as a Paradise Cove Serenade at Paradise Cove Luau for about 2 1/2 years and got my first taste of Hawaiian music there. Since then I have had the privilege of playing with various artists such as Darren Benitez, Moke Boy, and many others. Other Instruments Played - Bass guitar, Tahitian Banjo.

Musical Inspirations - My Beloved late grandmother Alofanene Hunkin-Misi, Ka'au Crater Boys, Pure Heart, Paradise Cove Serenaders, Obrien Eselu, Darren Benitez, Moke Boy, The Kahauanu Lake trio, Kalapana, Hui Ohana, Robert Nesta Marley and the Wailers, John Mayer, and the list goes on and on.

Hobbies - When I'm not performing with Maunalua I'm an Audio/Sound Technician and DJ. (Hi-pro sound and DJ) Did I mention I Love Music !!

Favorite pastimes - Family time is always my Favorite time !!
