This young and charismatic group had been in Hawaii’s music scene since 1996 and was only the second band to achieve Hawaii’s highest award for music created within the reggae genre. They are respected both as lyricists and instrumentalists, evident in the music on their recordings. Because of this, they were called upon to perform as the back-up band for the internationally known reggae star Rupert “Ojiji” Harvey (formerly lead singer of Messenjah). Their desire to live the life of music has sought them to master a large variety of musical instruments and genre of music. Their ability to perform equally on the bass, guitar, keys and drums had inspired Hawaii recording studios to call upon them for help, advice and studio work. Their ability to enhance and embellish music has taken them to locations around the world including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Tahiti, Europe and the Mainland. Typical Hawaiians’ debut CD, “In a Positive Vibrations”, was released in 1997 and featured the hit song “Crazy” that went to the top of the Island music charts. This recording went on to receive the 2000 Na Hoku Hanohano award for Reggae Album of the Year. In 2002, they released their long awaited recording “Keep it together” that once again features their talents as performers and composers and includes island music star O-Shen on one of the tracks. With the newly released CD “World Goes Round” in 2007, inspires people of all ages with soul and spirit conscious lyrics.
