“Henry Kapono has clearly become the most prolific and profound island entertainer of his era – and there’s no stopping him. –WayneHarada.com

Henry Kapono Ka'aihue is a performer who has it all – he's vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, composer, thrilling performer, and audience favorite. A Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter, he has taken home 21 Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards (Hawai‘i's Grammy), including Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year, Single of the Year, and Album of the Year. In 2021, Henry was honored by his peers with the Nā Hōkū Award for Contemporary Album, and by the public vote with the Award for Favorite Entertainer, and honored yet again in 2022 – he has become an icon in Hawaiian music. He is also the author of the award-winning children's book, A Beautiful Hawaiian Day, has appeared in films, and has made many television appearances.

Henry soared to the forefront of Hawaiian music in the 1970s with the duo Cecilio & Kapono, the first Hawaiian group to achieve a national recording contract (Columbia Records); together they recorded 13 albums, giving contemporary and folk rock a new perspective. Always musically adventurous, Henry launched a solo career in 1981.

Henry touches the soul with the simple honesty of his lyrics and music, and the gift of an evocative, plaintive balladeer's voice that haunts you long after he leaves the stage. In 2017, the legacy of Henry’s music was featured in the Los Angeles' Grammy Museum. Recently, he launched the Henry Kapono Foundation to support Hawai‘i’s music and the arts.
