Ocean Kaowili uses intensity and determination as his approach to music, giving way to a firestorm of awe-inspired tunes. He leads the way as one of the best-known bassists in the business and is also an accomplished guitar player. He has an unusual style of playing the upright bass on his lap, something that is rarely seen. His fine baritone harmonies lend a mellow depth to the traditional Hawaiian music he loves to sing. Couple this with an irresistible stage presence and you have a talent like no other.

Ocean fits in seamlessly with “Eddie Kamae & the Sons of Hawai‘i,” and enjoys the unique relationship that has lasted for more than 15 years and is still going strong.
