Jake One: talks about White Van Music



If you love eclectic, intelligent, real hip-hop, and you haven't checked out this album. You really should give Jake One a listen.

You can see the video for his single The Truth featuring Freeway and Brother Ali here

Or hear him on myspace

This was my favorite interview of last year.

Best Day Ever!

A man who was born on the same island as me, in the same hospital as me has just become the 44th president of the United States of America. I am looking forward to being an active individual in a more responsible America.

And also after about a year and a half of grant writing I have received a Research and Development Grant for my documentary film Haku Inoa: To Weave A Name from Pacific Islanders in Communications.

Mahalo nui to Leanne, Robert Pennybacker, Karin, and the dozens of others who have helped me get this far.

There is still a long road ahead please visit the website to find out more about the film or donate.

I now get to look forward writing and scouting in February, and shooting in March. More updates soon!

MAVIN Inauguration Party



It was really great to share this historic event with everyone at the Wing Luke. There was wonderful energy. Sorry I was looking a little worse for wear, but that is why I am not on the screen too long.
