Mike Young

Mike Young has been living the dream for decades; surfing by day, performing music by night. Best known for his Na Hoku Hanohano Award-nominated song, "Nani O Kaua'i", Mike is a singer/songwriter whose style blends genres and - like Hawaii - cross pollinates cultures. Born on Oahu, and raised for many years on Molokai, Mike grew up playing guitar and ukulele, singing Hawaiian songs. His performs solo - both Hawaiian classics and his original compositions - and he builds audience rapport with his local "talk story" entertainment style. Mike has composed dozens of songs, several of which have become standards for Hawaii's musicians. Mike feels at home now on Kaua'i where he is one of the islands most loved local entertainers.
