E26 Handsome Hawaiian Hammah: Young Musician DILLON PAKELE

Some lights don’t go out—they move. When Dillon lost dad, Kaulana Pakele of Mana‘o Company, & later hanai uncle, the legendary Fiji, the room dimmed. What came next is a story of regeneration with respect: a bedroom-turned-studio in a Hawaiian homestead, a couch as a reminder of sacrifice, & unwavering  faith & aloha.The Legacy Project is beloved old songs & new with intention & honor.  Featuring collabs & nods to Ehukai, Mana‘o Co., Sudden Rush, Jordan T, & more. And how influence is measured by integrity, not followers. #BOOMkaYAHYOUBeyond music, Dillon’s heart beats for his lāhui (community). As Choose Aloha Ambassador, he brings joy to schools where 30 minutes can change a day... & a life! Dillan reframes pain into songs that always point up.Subscribe for more stories that blend faith, culture, & making music with aloha; pls. also leave a review to our lāhui grow.IG @DawnOBrienHIFB Dawn O'Brien HIwww.ChooseAloha.orgIG @alohaalivepodcastyoutube.com/@AlohaAlivePodcast
