One of Hawaii’s most influential "voices" in contemporary island music is that of Na Hoku Hanohano award winner, Troy Fernandez, a founding member of Ka’au Crater Boys. His lightening fast picking and innovative style were instrumental in generating the ukulele renaissance of the early 90s. Like most island children, Troy began playing the ukulele in elementary school. Popular musicians like ukulele master Peter Moon provided inspiration and Troy’s skills quickly surpassed most of his peers. In the midst of all his success, Troy is always quick to credit his wife, Rose, and daughters, Tory and Tia, whose love and support remind him every day of how blessed he is. He hopes his achievements will inspire today’s kids in the same way, back in the day, Peter Moon’s music inspired a kid from Palolo. Troy Fernandez |
