Keahi Hanakahi was born on the island of Oahu, and was raised in Kailua. At 13, he moved to Moloka’i, married and raised his family on Molaka’i, and then he moved to Hilo on the Big Island of Hawai'i. A budding musical star, he melds his vocal talents and spiritual power to produce soul-shifting experiences that have to be felt, they cannot be described. It is a combination of vibrations from many different levels of the Universe all coming together in a single moment, in a single person, augmented by the innate power of the island and all working together with your own soul.

Keahi says that the purpose of bringing his music to the public is he knows that the voice of the Divine comes through him and that this is meant to be shared, to pass on the resonating experience of his voice and its message to others. As Live Hawaiian Music put it recently, "The voice of the Divine cannot be denied when you hear him chant. The effect is electrifying." Keahi also plays the nose flute in combination with his chanting when working with people on spiritual journeys and healing.

A typical private excursion to connect with Keahi would involve going to a private meeting in one of his favorite places of power on the island. It could be in a garden, in a hidden space on Mauna Kea, even at the cliffside looking down on the black sand beach of sacred Waipi'o Valley. There you would have your encounter in complete seclusion in one of the most stunning natural locations on Earth.
