Hawaii is where it all began for Bill. Aunties and Uncles were always bringing musical instruments over to play at the house. The house was always filled with music Bill recalls with a smile. With all of the genres of music that was shared between them he watched and listened and grew to appreciate all kinds of music. It wasn't until later in his life that he would begin to discover his families roots and his own healing gift. His vocal range is unique and his voice will amaze you and transport you to another place. His Cousin, was Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, "IZ" who sang the popular and endearing song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow & What a wonderful World". A song that has marked the passage of time, where everyone who heard it would be affected by it's message of peace and hope. Bill honors his cousin with his own close version of this magical song. This Album is Bill's #1 Bestseller.
