Aloha!
I'm an Emmy-winning singer/songwriter & traveling positive music artist based in the South Bay area of Cali. This page is dedicated to my album in the making:
MALUHIA: Songs for Creating Everyday Peace
"Maluhia" means PEACE in Hawaiian & my intention is for it to be a powerful, feel-good album filled with songs to empower the Peace-maker in YOU. The lyrics & music are shaped to support the vision of global peace born moment by moment in the hearts of each individual committed to living peace & being the peace from the inside out.

Keep your fingers crossed ~ Maluhia should be out by April 2007
Be Bold, Be Bright!
Peas & Ham-ohny,
Faith
