Starr Kalahiki has been singing for as long as she can remember. As the only child to a pentecostal minister, the musical fellowship she received was an incomparable education and her father's collection of jazz and bossa nova LP's. While attending the University Lab School, choral director Nola Nahulu literally acquainted Starr with her own voice and had her audition for the Hawaii Opera Theatre (HOT) chorus, of which became her initial experience in professional musical performances around Hawaii and worked with the talented cast of "'Ulalena" on Maui. She returned to Honolulu in 2004 and fronted the modern alternative rock band "Missing Dave" then the jazz headliner on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise. She continued to develop her craft as a member of the R&B group "Eight-o-eight" as well as funk band "Toyz of Pleasure." Along with Kit Ebersbach (Don Tiki) and bassist Dean Taba, Starr released her debut CD "SALT," winning her the 2012 Na Hoku Hanohano awards for Most Promising Artist and Jazz Album of the Year. We are very happy to have her sing for our Jazz services.
