"Being a finalist for this award is unlike anything I could've ever dreamed of." states artist Kuhaki Lee. "I feel so very proud and honored to be the first in my family nominated into the Na Hoku Hanohano Awards. I started composing this album when I was 15 years old, so I'm thankful that it's been creating such a stir. After all of the long hours my team and I put into working on this album it makes me happy to see that all of our hard work paid off after all."
"I am very proud of Kukahi for all of the hard work he's put into making his dream a reality." states father Shane Lee of Makalii Productions. "This album was a true labor of love and the dedication he's had to see it all the way through to the end has inspired our other children to want to do their best too. It's a blessing that God has given us such a gifted son, and we as a family are happy that we are able to help him to move forward and achieve his goals."
The Na Hoku Hanohano Awards (stars of distinction) was created and patterned from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciencees (NARAS) and is considered by many to be the Hawaiian version of the Grammy's. Originating in 1978 by legendary Hawaiian Dee Jay Krash Kealoha and the radio station KCCN, its purpose was to recognize achievements in music by Hawaiian artists that might have otherwise gone unnoticed by mainland award ceremonies. A voluntary nine-member elected board governs HARA, which is a non profit organization that directs quality and growth in the recording and music industries in Hawai'i. The organization also offers scholarships annually.
Kukahi is already getting ready to release his second album titled "HUMAN" available May 5th.
