Background[]
ALOHA! My name is Loki Alohikea. I grew up in Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii! Music has always been deeply rooted in my life. From the time I could talk I was singing...and singing all the time! Music was very much a part of my Hawaiian culture and also my religion (LDS). Growing up, before my family gathered for prayer and scripture study, one of my 4 siblings would pass around the songboks and then we'd all, including my parents, sing in a hymn together, each in his/her own respective voice part. We learned how to read notes and sing harmony together! I started taking Ukulele lessons and piano lessons and soon grew to love those! Thank you mom for making me practice! I taught himself how to play the guitar while on my two-year mission for the LDS church in Tampa, Florida. The people there really encouraged me to pursue and develop my talents. I am studying Chemistry at BYU Provo and have done research on Alzheimer's disease while being funded 70K from the National Institute of Health! I hope to also double major in Commercial Music to become a producer! I've started teaching myself, through youtube tutorials and online classes, how to record, mix, and master my own music. All of the music on my page has been recorded in my tiny apartment bedroom! You should see the DIY things i've made since I'm broke and can't afford expensive gear (i.e. shakers made from toilet paper cores, just to name a few! Haha) I love to create! Whether it's painting, making my own furniture from refurbished pallet wood, or creating my own wall decorations using materials found only at a Dollar Tree because I'm too broke to go buy stuff! I'm the epitome of a college student but it makes life more fun and challenging when you can create something yourself. I love to cook as well, another way I create other than writing and performing songs! I do wedding photography and portrait photography on the side as a hobby! I just think it's so amazing that you can make anything beautiful just by viewing it at a certain angle and manipulating the light! A principle that can definitely be applied to life in general! Anyways, I find joy in bringing others joy and serving other people by any means possible, whether through song, or service, or a simple smile or inquire about their day! The world needs more light and I'm just hoping my small flame can make a difference! [1]
