July 3, 2024Top Notch Professionals! Sweet Nahe Music
At the last minute, my son wanted live Hawaiian, local pa'ina music for his graduation party. I was running out of time and options with the event 6 days away. How would I find anyone within my budget?! I can't across Kai Malo'o Entertainment's website. Filled in the form, fingers crossed. The next morning I receive a text from Brandon inquiring about details and will let me know about availability. Thank the Lord he was available and locked us in. 2.5 hours of nahe music which included his soundsystem for an awesome price! I had use of the mic if needed- I shoulda asked him to emcee, lol. Communication was very easy and he's so nice! Aloha all around- very professional. He came an hour early for setup and should check. Music throughout dinner was perfect- great mix of all kind Hawaiian, local; perfect volume. He and Dusty are talented guys- great voices. It truly felt like we were at Anyplace Lounge having pupu, listening and talking, having great time. Everyone was asking who these guys were- they wanted to keep them in mind for their events. Needless to say, Brandon and his crew are top-notch, easy going friendly guys. Great energy and good vibes all around- I cannot stress that enough. They really put my mind at ease. Hands down, they are my go to for live musicians. Highly recommended. Mahalo piha, Brandon and Dusty 🤙

February 8, 2024Simply Wonderful!
We originally asked for a one-man band but after listening to their music online asked for the two of them to play. A week before the party, Brandon alerted us that his partner couldn’t play but would bring not just bring one replacement but two other musicians to fill the spot. And they totally rocked it! They came early to set up, started on time, had a great sound system, played the full time requested, provided wonderful music (both Hawaiian and pop cover music) and towards the end, got the party dancing!!! They were professional and made our special milestone birthday party everything we had hoped for!!!! We wanted our party to be epic and they delivered!!! Mahalo Brandon and Kai Malo’o!!!!!
