Onto a shining start
Andrew started playing the ukulele when he was 13 years old and hasn’t looked back. His love and passion of this little instrument shows in his playing and song writing ability. His first CD, entitled “The Beginning”, on which he composed eight of the 11 songs was a finalist in the “Ukulele Album of the Year” category at the 2014 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards (Hawaii’s version of the grammy awards).

More than just the beginning

Moving forward
