I Found a New Baby (Musically-Speaking)

In case you're wondering, no, Ethan has not been replaced :)

But I do have more BIG news!

This past week I have been playing with a new MUSICAL baby (ukulele) that arrived in the mail last week because...

I am officially a Kanile'a Ukulele Artist!

It is truly an honor to be welcomed into the Kanile'a ohana as one of their artists.

This Hawaiian ukulele brand is known around the world for its superior craftsmanship and uncompromising pursuit of quality in each instrument it builds.
Kanile'a Ukulele Artists include world-renowned players and teachers:

• Craig Chee & Sarah Maisel (my first ukulele teachers)
• Brittani Paiva (pro player)
• Andrew Hardel (RockClass101.com)
• Aldrine Guerrero (Ukulele Underground), and more!

​
What a thrill to be recognized among this incredibly talented group of musicians for my unique combination of pro-level vocals, performance skills, and joyful way of connecting people together through music.
​
I started my ukulele journey back in 2016 with a Kanile'a Islander ukulele (still one of my main recommendations for a quality beginning instrument).

But as my playing ability has grown, so has my need for an uke upgrade. I've played a few different instruments throughout the years, but none match the quality and tone of my new Kanile'a KTR T Pro Ukulele (pictured below).

This instrument is top-of-the-line in every way, and I can't wait to see where it takes my music next.

I hope you have the chance to come hear it for yourself at a performance this spring!

With gratitude,

Ashley
