A multi–Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award-winning percussionist, Lopaka Colón carries on the legacy of his father, the legendary “Sophisticated Savage” Augie Colón of Martin Denny’s Exotic Sounds. A founding member of the award-winning group Pure Heart, hailed among Hawai‘i’s top 50 musical acts.  Lopaka has since become one of Hawai‘i’s most sought-after percussionists, collaborating with the islands’ top artists in studios, on stage, and in spontaneous kanikapila jams.  

Jenny Yim was born and raised in Hawaiʻi, surrounded by music. Her father and his brother played music together, and she became inspired, making up songs immediately as a toddler, writing her first fully formed songs around the age of 6 or 7. Jenny has a full, husky tone to her singing voice that she effortlessly melds with a clear, high falsetto. It’s very much her own subtle indie sound and style. Feeling blessed to be able to share her music, she has been significantly influenced by stories and things that people go through, their resolutions, and turning them into a song they can relate to…songs about feelings that are difficult to put into words. Her goal in life is to help people through her music and inspire people to be nicer to each other.
