Hes only 23 and just beaten laranyx cancer. His mom has beaten breast cancer muliple times including a double mastectomy. Him coming from a hawaiian household, music is a way of life and when he went to do his radiation, he coouldnt talk/sing, anything. Nows hes in remission and he loves your music and sings it all the time.
