Press
The featured group this month is that HOT Hawaiian Reggae group called Island Bound! Island bound was created in 2006 to provide music for a fundraiser for their Kikaha O Ke Kai Outrigger Canoe Club. Their music was enjoyed so much by the audience that the group became a permanent fixture in the Pacific NW area (being played on pipeline2paradise.com radio where Island Bound’s “Here To Stay” was #1 on the most requested song list for over 5 weeks). Island Bound continues to grow in the Reggae music area and to perpetuate the native roots (Hawaiian, Samoan, Filipno) of the six musicians who make up Island Bound. The members include Isaiah Chun Fook (Ewa Beach, HI), Justin Sedeno (Ewa Beach, HI), Kawelo Panui (Nanakuli, HI), James Santos (Seattle), Surah Fonoimoana (Laie, HI) and newest member Roman Malaki Brown (Pearl City, HI)!
