Aloha Taxi friends,

When I came back into pro music after a 15-year layoff to raise my family, I joined TAXI. I had 5 or 6 forwards but they didn't pan out. I did not renew because my style of music is very specific and virtually all of the listings all the time do not have my area listed (island Style). I still live in Hawaii and ever since, I have done the following:

1) Lead song in the Lifetime thriller "Deadly Honeymoon" - this movie has been playing nonstop on five continents since it's 2010 release. Filmed in Hawaii by the Island Film Group. Over two minutes of play time. Song is "Another Day in Paradise"
2) Won two Hawaii Music Awards
3) Released 9-records in 5-years
4) Last year's release "Pau Hana" has enjoyed 65-weeks in the Top10 Google Music Hawaii Top200 Albums. One song "Love Me Tonight" was written with Bridget Benenate (Breakaway Kelly Clarkson).
5) Song "Another Day in Paradise" hit #1 for 4-weeks in 2012 Google Music Hawaii Top150 Songs
6) This years release "Pineapple" is #1 Google Music Surf Top150 Albums and #3 Google Music Hawaii Top200 Albums
7) Multiple performances on CBS/NBC Honolulu Hawaii
8) Wrote theme song for C&Y Day Honolulu Hawaii
