new Single -
Road Trip
This song is dedicated to my daughter and her boyfriend, who drove from the United States’ west coast to the mid-west. Although I never experienced it, I could only imagine a sense of wonder and mysteriousness while witnessing the beautiful country sides and cities along the way. I hope that “Road Trip” brings you fond memories of your journeys.

Ko’olau Lullaby
My new single released on Mar 1, 2024.
(Over 863k 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.
