(edited) Lanai has been working seemingly non-stop since he landed in Hawaii radio in the 1980's. To some he's Lanai Boy (I-94) and others it's Lanai Tabura - along with his brother Chef Adam Tabura and friend stand-up comedian Shawn Felipe - who won Season Four of Food Network's "The Great Food Truck Race" (2013). He's had success as a stand-up, done acting, emceeing, hosting and all the while, Lanai has been a lynch-pin in a g...

Melon James is an artist currently based in Honolulu, Hawaii. You can see some of his works in Kaka'ako, part of Pow! Wow! Hawaii 2020. I'll include a quick video below so you can see other murals from earlier this year in the Honolulu neighborhood. Nicky - as I was introduced to him - started out fine tuning his tag (font style and name/words) and later pieces (larger and more stylized works) as a teenager in Chicago, Illinois. J...

Billy Craven is a friend from my seasons working at a record store in Honolulu, Hawaii [Jelly's Books & Music].

It dawned on me that if you're getting a massage, you want your massage therapist to be joyful, even tempered, kind, patient, loving, sweet souled - they are sharing energy, Their energy with you when you're receiving a treatment. Which is cool cool in that my friend Lala Kamalani Buzzell possesses those qualities though isn't a Pollyanna! She isn't one to allow you to be mean to her nor her loved ones. Lala does allow the space ...

It's Week Two in Hawaii where we've been ordered to Stay at Home, Work at Home. Most folks know what is Essential Services, which businesses are open or will reopen soon. The Coronavirus COVID-19 cases continue to test positive in our islands... A little different from previous weeks: we each keep working, sewing face mask and washing our hands with soap and water for twenty seconds; stories about people sharing their TP "stash", ...

I don't know how to describe Olena Heu as she's been a bright, shiny light in Hawai'i for as long as she's been flitting around from one event to another! Smart and focused, she enjoys a great plate lunch and a really great deal even more. Her TV/video series, "Da Best Hawaii", is a featured channel on Hawaiian Airlines and can be seen On Demand on Hawaiian Telcom. Olena's ,"Lilikoi Ladies, LLC", is her business consultancy agenc...

There are a few people I know that the term "unflappable" would apply and my classmate Jefferson is one of them. He's lived in Lahaina, Maui for most his life and enjoys the easy attitude of the Valley Isle. Every so often, a musical artist will come through Honolulu or Kahului and that's when we'd cross paths. When Coronavirus COVID-19 began to make its presence known in our Hawaiian Islands, the trickle of cancelled events becam...

HIFF.org or the Hawai'i International Film Festival hosts two major film festivals in our islands in the Spring and Fall. April 2020's dates were cancelled as Coronavirus COVID-19 had our local governments gradual place orders for no gatherings of x-number of persons. Before long, Beckie Stochetti, Executive Director of HIFF, and her staff made the difficult decision like everyone to not announce the Spring 2020 line up or ticket ...

I'm a Honolulu radio broadcaster and since COVID-19 has made it uncertain for all to travel and be in a room with people, I have to reschedule my meet ups. Kutmaster Spaz is someone I've known for many seasons and really admire his work ethic. He's got TV and videos produced under his company, Dis-N-Dat Entertainment. We were going to - and still will! - do a video chat up for my "Hawaii POV - A Talk Story Series" when Hawaii all...

Cello from the middle of the Pacific Ocean! Since "Stay at Home/Work at Home/Remote Learning/Tele-Schooling" has been in effect in Hawaii (I believe it was March 25, 2020 statewide in our island), the halls of (our) radio studios where I work in Honolulu, Hawaii are quieter. Still folks come in and do work and leave though it's a handful that are here-here. I'm here-here. Figured to chat up, catch up with folks and Sweetie Pac...

This phone interview was conducted in January 2009. Ms. Estefan was generous in her answers and as I listened back, I could hear her smiling when responding about family, her Mother and her fans. In 2008-2009, Gloria Estefan toured the world in support of her full-length album, "90 Millas (90 Miles)", a reference to the ninety miles between her birthplace of Cuba and the shores of Florida. I hope you enjoy this light and candid ...

Living in Hawaii is a dream, for sure. For the fortunate few who are entertainers, it's sweet and still you are working. While people are on vacation, "you" are working! Earning and working, doing what you love....that's key: doing what you love. Singer/musician Johnny Helm didn't consider a life of music. He enjoyed listening to it, maybe noodling around though that is not what a kid from the East Coast does, right?...he'd think ...

How would a canoe built in 1800's Hawaii arrive in a UK storage facility an hour outside of London, England?

When I hear Frankie Knuckles' Whistle Song, I can remember looking up from the dance floor and it'd be DJ Daniel J grooving behind the turntables! Going to Pink Cadillac and Pink's Garage in Honolulu in the 1990's for me and friends was all about dancing and drinks and fun. Raves were rolling in and the DJ was running the room. It's the same for the younger generations and each segment of a scene has their own music genre, Go-To c...
