Product Description
Kalae Miles was born and raised in Waimanalo on the island of Oahu.
Quickly finding his musical voice by age 9, he performed with the Honolulu
Boys Choir, Keiki Music School and The Hawaii Children's Opera Chorus. The
years
that followed found Kalae competing in talent shows and song contests,
winning 1st place in the Hilton Hawaiian Village song contest, the Morning
Musicale competition and NATS, while top ranking in many others.
Finishing college at the University of Hawai’i, Manoa, Kalae was gifted by
Hawai’i’s Foundation of Culture and Arts to study falsetto with one of Hawai’i’s
most respected falsetto singers Richard Ho’opi’i, eventually becoming Richard’s
honorary protégé. A subsequent mentorship that followed, Kalae studied voice and
‘ukulele
under Kahauanu Lake, one of Hawai’i’s most internationally loved
progressive Hawaiian musician/composers.
Currently, Kalae is planning a national tour in support of his debut album release
on ‘Aumakua Records entitled “Ho’opono”. A record that has been anticipated
for years, shares with the listener traditional, contemporary and original Hawaiian
mele or songs about Hawai’i and his world experiences. In the spirit of “Reaching
the globe through music that touches every heart”, Kalae is sure to be received
as an asset to both the Hawaiian culture and the world.
