Curtis Kamiya was born and raised in Honolulu, but his music only begins there. His songs are infused with the lives he has lived—in San Francisco, Seattle, a year around the world. Influenced by the contemporary Hawaiian style of Kalapana, Olomana, and Cecilio and Kapono, Curtis Kamiyas music is layers of time and place, life and love. Think James Taylor barefoot on the beach, singing disarmingly simple, soul-hitting lyrics like John Mayer.

Think home, and the music that sounds like home, wherever you are in the world. Curtis Kamiya Live Performance Recording Artist Songwriter Music Instruction curtiskamiya.com
