"It's rare when an artist arrives on the scene offering a refreshing new spin on a traditional genre of music. Steven Espaniola is that artist.

Raised in Aliamanu, Hawaii and now residing in the California Bay Area, Steven is a multi-instrumentalist specializing in Ki Ho‘alu (Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar), ‘Ukulele, Upright Bass, and Leo Ki‘e Ki‘e (Traditional Hawaiian falsetto). Of Hawaiian, Filipino and Spanish decent, his ethnicity is as diverse as his unique sound which preserves the integrity of the traditional with a flourish of the modern.

His debut recording entitled "Ho‘omaka", to begin, features a mesmerizing collection of traditional and original Hawaiian mele recorded by Na Hoku Hanohano award winning producer Dave Tucciarone.

Ho‘omaka will be sure to transport the listener to the Hawaii of yesterday with soaring falsetto vocals, nahenahe slack key guitar and rhythmic ‘ukulele. Steven Espaniola's highly anticipated debut album will carry you on a musical journey you won't soon forget."
