We started as artists, and musicians ourselves, and we just found that there wasn't as much support in the things we needed. People that were trying to find the right spots for us to play and also for the venues to be able to create the best guest experiences. So through that process of going into those spaces ourselves, we found that there's a need to find other artists that were trying to look for similar opportunities. So we worked toward providing support for the artists.

Our banking relationship was really important to us. When we were looking for a bank, we wanted a local, family-oriented, AAPI owned bank. That's where we come from too. We wanted someone local, we wanted people that understood the nature of our business, that we're so new, and we're still growing. It was a really great partnership that we found with them.

My advice to anybody out there that thinks I might have a little bit of an idea and I wonder if I should start a business, I would say just do it. Just do it and ask the questions. It's really cool to know that we are with a bank like Hawaii National Bank that has a team of people that care about us just as much as we care about our business, and that we can ask questions and they can help us find answers, and that we're just supported. And so knowing that that's out there, I would say just go for it and know that there's resources available to help you figure it out. It's okay if you're messy at first. Just do it. And if you got what it takes and you don't give up, sky's the limit.

Our vision's a lot bigger than it was when we first started. We have artists that want to tour the world. We have artists that want to hear their music in movies and TV shows, and those are things that we're expanding on. We're building relationships for that and collaborating with other businesses that provide the services that we don't have to do. So we're really excited to create more opportunities for all of us, then we can all get work and we can all stay here.
