I had such a wonderful experience recording at Team Hawaii Studios, and I especially want to…read morerecognize Kyle for making the experience so meaningful. Kyle was one of the engineers who worked with me throughout the process and helped me take my song all the way to the finish line. From the beginning, he made me feel comfortable, encouraged me, and pushed me outside of my comfort zone in the best possible way. There were moments when I probably would have played it safe, but his guidance and encouragement helped me trust myself and my voice as an artist. What I appreciated most was that he didn't just focus on getting the song recorded--he made me feel like he genuinely wanted me to do my best. As an artist, having someone in the studio who believes in you can make such a difference. I'm incredibly grateful for the experience, everything I learned, and the confidence I gained throughout the process. Kyle was a huge part of making this a positive and memorable recording experience for me. I know I'll be back soon. Thank you, Kyle, Isaac and Team Hawaii for believing in me, pushing me, and helping me bring my song to life!

I find myself needing to leave a review because of a negative review I read here today. I always…read moretell tourists this is an awesome spot if they want to get a feel of the real parts of the island, albeit not fancy, not expensive, not anything like you would expect. The first time I went here I was like, "wow, this is different." It really is and if you like jazz, you must try the Monday night jazz jam. There is no cover, although there should be. Bub the owner runs this jam every single Monday night no matter what the holiday or what's happening in town. Yes, he is different than maybe you and certainly me, but he is a loving, wonderful, caring individual even though he's against masking and has a different viewpoint on covid. So what, many people do. The sax player who was disrespectful was indeed kicked out of the joint and that guy hasn't been seen since. Its a shame too, cause he was at one time in his life a good sax player. Alas, the dude cannot handle his liquor. Anyway, I just wanted to say that despite what you read from a couple people about this place, it's a GEM and a real treat to experience a Monday night there. I don't partake in any other events that he throws in there but a lot of people do and it's a safe space. I'll support Bub always.

After speaking out about it, other women of Hilo reported that he had also harassed and even unconsensually kissed them. None of the "regulars" confronted him or held him accountable. We also watched him call other fem presenting people "hot" and "sexy" from up on stage. Shared my story on fb and the owner, Bub, was tagged. He commented on the post sharing his sincere apologies for our experience. He stated this goes against kukuau studio values and shared that this man would be completely banned from the studio!

Although Hilo is home to one of the largest and most diverse music communities, musicians are…read morelimited to only a handful of small music shops. Big Island Guitars has arrived in town with goals and dreams larger then your average shop. Big Island Guitars hopes to expand their services to provide a place for musicians to meet and jam. The products. Big Island Guitars is an official dealer for Ibanez guitars. They carry a variety of guitars ukuleles and music products from brands such as Line 6, Seagull, Jasmine, Tama, Quantum Audio, Dunlop and more. Big Island guitars offers new, used and consignment items. I I am a garage sale picker, tire kicker and all-around scamp when it comes to buying things. The terms "consignment" and "used" means two things to me: the possibility of rare items and great prices. The service. The service here is professional, experienced and comes from individuals who care about the music community. They offer equipment rentals and minor repair services. They can also refer out heavier repairs such as neck work or body refurbishment. In addition they also have classes available for new musicians. Another item worth mentioning, under certain circumstances the shop is willing to offer trade in credit or even pay cash for instruments and equipment. I have not seen any other music shop in town offer this. There are so many times where I would have jumped at the chance to "upgrade" my guitar rather than have to sell it privately just to buy a guitar I really want. The location. This is probably my only critique point of this shop. It is too small, in a traffic heavy area with limited parking. Can't fault them on this too much though, every other music shop in Hilo has this same problem. The shops are too small for the amount of products they carry and it is a nightmare to find parking. If I need to turn sideways to get through rows of products that is not ok, neither is having to wait 5 min behind a twit driver that is failing at parallel parking. The prices. In all honesty it will almost always be cheaper to purchase instruments and equipment from amazon.com or musician's friend. But trust me on this one, It is a pain to have to deal with shipping bulky items to Hawaii. The savings is hardly worth it in the end. You will either lose the savings to shipping prices or have to wait forever for your items to arrive. You also do not get the benefit of trying out the items before purchase. This being said, Big Island Guitars provides prices that are more then fair and are readily available for sampling before you buy. Truth be told, I know Spencer and I am giving him a shining review because I hope his shop does well. This does not go without merit however, the products and service are rock solid and Spencer's enthusiasm is apparent the second you step inside. A shop like this is a refreshing change as it strives to grow and be part of the community around it. The business is new and the space is small but with support of local musicans like you and I, it could turn into a place where music lives.

They captured all the emotions and scenery perfectly. All our friends and family loved it. Many said it brought tears to their eyes.
