Description: Hi, Well, my idea is twofold. I want to start a business that sells a Hawaiian/South Pacific Music & Dance Show, while (honestly) sharing my Hawaiian culture with anyone who may be a client, or who may be in one of our audiences. I subcontract a group of professional Hawaiian/South Pacific dancers who do Hula, Tahitian, Samoan, and Guamanian dance. I also will be subcontracting two fire dancers, one is a native Tongan named Tesi, and the other is a native Austinite named Cary. I am, and have been, a professional musician who has been playing, among other things, Hawaiian and Samoan music. I have managed to make a living solely on playing music since January 1, 1980. After having spent the past 4 months here in Austin, Texas, working for a Hawaiian group, I see that I can do a show that is fully professional, cultural, educational, and entertaining. I pride myself on treating clients, audiences, and entertainers with genuine respect, and on putting on a top notch, professional show.
