Growing up in Hawaii, music was not an option or choice - it was a way of life for Kaloku that grew into today's passion. Motivated by the desire to share the aloha spirit that was instilled in him as a Native Hawaiian, Kaloku incorporates that same spirit of joyful sharing of life energy in the present, into all of his music. For him, a successful performance draws people from different cultures, backgrounds and walks of life to come together and experience something as one.
To date, Kaloku has recorded 3 CD's which include both originals and song covers. His original songs are motivated by his love for his Hawaiian ancestry. Kaloku and the Krew is high energy Island Reggae/Contemporary/Rock/Funk/Jazz that draws the crowds with those smooth island jams that everyone loves!
