MUSIC IS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME. IT'S MY HERITAGE. I was named after my Grandfather, Johnny "Ukulele" Kaaihue, (www.JohnnyUkulele.com) The Worlds Most Reknowed Master Of The Ukulele. His father, Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole was the last Hawaiian Royal to be buried in Hawaii in full Regalia with a Hawaiian Royal Honor gaurd procession in 1959. We are all relatives of the Royal Hawaiian family of Hawaii. My father, Norman Kaye (www.NormanKaye.com) is the State Poet Emeritius of Nevada and he wrote songs for many celebrities including Johnny Mathis and Perry Como. My Aunt, Mary Kaye is "The First Lady Of Rock" and the namesake of The Mary Kaye Stratocaster Fender Custom Guitar. This is the first custom guitar made by Leo Fender and the first guitar ever named after a person. Her group The Mary Kaye Trio (www.MaryKayeTrio.com) are the Pioneers of The Las Vegas Lounge Scene. They created the first ever late night lounge act in Las Vegas. She was also inducted into The Musicians Hall Of Fame with Ella Fitgerald and Sarah Vaughn by Louis B. Armstrong in 1961. She was also one of the top female jazz guitarists of all time. Sadly, she passed away at the age of 83 on February 17th, 2007. I miss her deeply. She was also my mentor and mother to me.
My Cousin and Brother, Jay Kaye (www.JayKayeBand.com)is the Blue Messiah of Spain and one of the most flawless guitar players alive. Cousin Henry Kapono (HenryKapono.com) is 1/2 the famous duo named Cecilio and Kapono. He is also known as the Wild Hawaiian.
