OUR STORY
Recognizing the profound worldwide impact of their music & experiences in the entertainment industry, The Green founded Ka Ma’o with dreams of making those same realities more accessible to the local community.
Understanding the challenges they faced while navigating their careers, the founding members envisioned a nonprofit that would provide vital support not only for artists but also for the diverse roles within the music industry that contribute to their success. They believe that by nurturing the next generation of music industry leaders, they can maximize opportunities for Hawaii’s rich musical heritage to reach global audiences.
Through workshops, mentorship programs, and community resources, Ka Ma'o will empower emerging talents and ensure that Hawaii's vibrant music scene continues to flourish beyond our beautiful Hawaiian islands.
