I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family.

With my being from Hawaii and being very family oriented I don't really have a fear of a tragic ending. I dont see any tragic ending for me.

In Hawaii, some of the biggest radio stations are reggae. The local bands are heavily influenced by Bob Marley.

I can put some chords together and maybe write a song, but I'm learning every day. And that's the fun part.

Honolulu is a melting pot.

I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.

I feel, as a songwriter, it's one of the hardest things to do - to sit down and say how you feel.
