“Kealoha… slam poetry artist… thoughtful and provocative takes on life's highs and lows, mixing the funny with the serious. The poetry is blended with occasional musical riffs. The tracks are mind-bending and soul-cleansing... the very essence of a bright young mind seeking a place in the world.”  --Wayne Harada, Honolulu Advertiser

Kealoha, the full length spoken word album, fuses poetry with various genres of music including hip-hop beats, slack key compositions, acoustic soul instrumentals, and melodic vocals. Expect to hear saxophones, djembe and conga drums, beat-box percussion, guitars, bass riffs, some a capella tracks, and some live performances from Jason Scott Lee's Ulua Theatre, Hale Noa, and Hawaiʻi Slam's First Thursdays.

Featured artists include Barry Flanagan (Hapa), HawaiianRyan (93.9 The Beat), Selah Geissler (Hawaiʻi Slam Team), Gloria Baraquio (Living Local), Cephalopod (electronic beat box improvisations), Darin Leong (Grammy Nominee), Communication (organic hip-hop band), Tempo Valley, and more.
