A professional Hawaiian musician since the age of 17, Kahiapo is also an ordained minister. His love and devotion to his friends and family, and to Hawai’i’s people, land, and culture are evident not only in his songs, but also in how he lives: he volunteers for countless projects and he sits on the governing boards of a variety of organizations; from North Shore Community Land Trust, to Jack and Kim Johnson’s Kōkua Hawaiʻi Foundation, and more. Musically, he has contributed his talents to over 80 recording projects, and has collaborated and performed with artists from the internationally acclaimed Jack Johnson to fellow GRAMMY® Award winner Cyril Pahinui; the Sunday Mānoa’s Palani Vaughan, and many more. He is a fixture at slack key festivals all over the U.S. and abroad, and the demand for both his slack key and rich vocal talents has expanded to include the recording of numerous jingles and theme songs for radio and television ads.
