SONGS FOR OUR SOUL ON VOICES OF TRUTH - ONE-ON-ONE WITH HAWAI`I'S FUTURE

OK
. Enough already!


Well, once again, for yet another week, we’ve been overwhelmed with response from our viewers about our Manu Meyer segment.

Mahalo one more time for your very positive responses. We’re glad you like her.

We do too. We agree Manu is one Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) on the cutting edge.

This week, we bring you another brand new segment and what a great one it is.

Liko Martin is one of Hawai`i’s premier songwriters and musicians. He’s also a strong advocate for a Free Hawai`i.

But Liko’s journey to where he is today was not always smooth.

Like many, Liko had his ups and downs along the way and after a long wait, we finally got him to sit down and tell us all – how he creates his music, what the life of an artist is like, and all about the struggles to become who he is today.

We encourage all of you, aspiring creative types or not, to gather your `ohana (family) this week and join us as we visit with Liko, in this heart-warming and inspiring story.

One of Hawai`i’s greatest living talents – Liko Martin, the man who writes songs for our soul – all new and right here for you on Voices Of Truth – One-On-One With Hawai`i’s Future.

“Songs For Our Soul – A Visit With Liko Martin”

Hawai`i has a lot of singers and songwriters, but none more talented than Liko Martin.


We’ve been trying to get Liko to join us on the show for quite a while and it was definitely worth the wait.


Liko is a musician’s musician – his talents and abilities are up there with the best the world over.

He tells us details of his just finished sessions in a recording studio in Oakland, California with “A list” performers, and even about a Hawaiian opera he’s currently writing!

Perhaps best known for his “Hawai`i Loa Ku Like Kakou, All Hawai`i Stand Together,” Liko has seen and done it all – from Hollywood to Hawai`i, and for the first time reveals what the journey has been like and taught him.

Here’s your opportunity to catch one of Hawai`i’s most unique and treasured talents as he talks about his life, his music, how it comes to him, the role model that inspired it all and how he went from living in a car on the streets of Los Angeles to being one of Hawai`i’s premier musicians today.
