On June 17, 2008, I became the recipient of the Haku Mele (Composer’s Award) in the 31st Annual Na Hoku Hanohano Awards of The Hawai'i Academy of Recording Arts (a.k.a. The Hawaiian Grammys). The Haku Mele category is for the “Best first-released song or chant primarily in the Hawaiian language.” This adjudicated category is judged by “...a panel of Hawaiian language, haku mele [traditional composers], and music specialists appointed by the Board of Governors...”
From my latest album, “He aloha...”, my composition “Mili'opua” was chosen out of 40+ entrants as this year’s winner by the following criteria: “1. Poetic style of the Hawaiian language where appropriate; 2. Proper wording (choice of words and/or phrases) of the Hawaiian language; and 3. Musical composition.”
