With over twenty years invested in his musical passion, Pali Tuan W. Ka’aihue has had the honor to experience music in all aspects of the industry. Beginning with the earliest memories, contacts with the local music industry have included the opportunity to compose, produce, engineer, and record. Though naturally a baritone, his vocal ability enables him to sing in a tenor range, heard in the intricately woven harmonies of For You, from the debut release, and in Ku’u Lei Awapuhi and `Akaka Falls off of the group's brand new CD, In Harmony. His fondness for composition can be heard in the melodic orchestration of Ua Lilo I Ko Aloha and Island Days. On the groups newest release, Pali took an active role as producer and had specific ideas on the CD's engineering and mastering. Pali wanted to ensure a "live" approach was used in recording most of the vocals and instruments heard on In Harmony.
With the first album, he was blessed with a prestigious Nä Hökü Hanohano Award nomination for “Most Promising Artist” and “Island Contemporary Album of the Year." Since its release,In Harmony has received three additional Nä Hökü Hanohano Award nominations (Contemporary Hawaiian Album of the Year; Group of the Year; Entertainer of the Year); won the 2004 Hawai`i Music Award's Contemporary Hawaiian Album of the Year as well as receiving a proclamation from Mayor of Honolulu, Mayor Mufi Hannemann. Pali eagerly looks forward to a bright future, having been blessed with the musical talents of his new brothers, creating beautiful harmony, both in music and in friendship.
