"I first started playing the 'ukulele at 13 years old, and it immediately became my full-blown passion. My dad told me that I should invest in a Kamaka 'ukulele if I wanted to get serious with music. He surprised me with my first concert-sized Kamaka in 2010 for my 14th birthday. I fell in love with the sound and everything about it. I was fortunate enough to receive a custom from Casey Kamaka in April 2012 and haven't thought about playing any other 'ukulele since. It's an honor to be a small part of an 'ukulele 'ohana that is always striving for excellence, refinement in their instruments, and keeping a 100+ year tradition going strong."
