I'm going to go ahead and assume that you all know this song, though most of you probably don't know Israel...which is going to be fixed right now. He's Hawaiian, and has always been into music because his was exposed to it a lot as a kid. His uncle was a musician, and he got to see some influential artists where his parents worked. He started playing when he was eleven with his older brother and cousin, and they continued that way until his brother joined the army and his cousin moved to the mainland. He released 15 albums and was a huge supporter of the Hawaiian independence movement. Yes, Hawaii was originally it's own country, look it up if you're curious. He was clearly meant to do music and I will fight anyone who thinks otherwise. He died in 1997, but the beauty he put into this world will last much longer than that.
Peace.
