Jack Johnson was born in Oahu, Hawaii, in 1975, before turning to music was one of the best young surfers in the world. His career was cut short when a giant wave that nearly killed him, forced him to quit the competition at age 17.

Released from his latest album, "Sleep through the Static", highlight the songs "Angel" and "Hope", but certainly more rounded work to date has been "In Between Dreams" (more...)

Hawaiian Music

Arts and Music

Referring to Hawaii as “paradise” is about as hackneyed as you can get, but when you combine it into “artists’ paradise” it’s the absolute truth.
