Combining Hawaiian Music Elegance with Bold Jazz

Landon Halehaku Seabury is a Grammy nominated and multi Na Hoku Hanohano Award winning guitarist/multi instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and vocalist from Kaneohe, Oahu. Halehaku developed an early passion for music from his parents. His formative musical education began when he assisted his father in the KCCN 1420 AM radio station studio as a young child.

Halehaku began formally studying music early on, starting with the Hawaiian steel guitar under the tutelage of his uncle, steel guitar master Alan L. Akaka. He continued to play steel guitar as his primary instrument throughout high school studying the styles of Jules Ah See, Jake Keliikoa, Barney Isaacs, and his great grandfather Joseph “Steppy” De Rego.

Building a dual-fold music career as a studio session ace and independent artist, Halehaku’s musical contributions can be found on albums by Kainani Kahaunaele, Josh Tatofi, Keauhou, Keao Costa and Kekuhi Kanakaole, and others uncredited. As an artist with his group Na Hoa, he has recorded and preserved songs like Kolopa, Pili Me Oe, and Pua Mae Ole.

It has since been a goal of his to combine the elegance of Hawaiian music and the bold, daring improvisation of jazz into a beautiful musical form that is appreciated by both Hawaiians and Non-Hawaiian music fans alike. Explore more artists.
