“2012 Na Hoku Hanohano award winner for ‘Most Promising Artist’ and ‘Jazz Album of the Year’, Starr Kalahiki takes to the stage with an enigmatic flourish. Sounding like she could jump on stage on Broadway or bring the house down at a packed stadium, Starr’s personality shines through her powerful voice. Quirky, fun and riding the gratitude train, she introduces us proudly to her cousin, Emma Coloma-Nakano who shows what a bass solo is all about.”

“Kalahiki, seductively sensational in her glittery short dress, was every bit a “Cool Yule” hottie — and a bona fide Starr, earning a hana hou in an “Oh, Happy Day” gospel romp with The Caz and the ohana of dancers who double as singers.”

“Winner of two Na Hoku Hanohano awards: Most Promising Artist and Best Jazz Album, Starr Kalahiki has been singing for as long as she can remember.”
