HONOLULU (HI Now) - Nick Laʻa is having a debut, and Hawaiʻi music fans will want to tune in. Fresh off his graduation from the Henry Kapono Foundation’s On The Rise program and stepping into the “Next Level,” Nick is bringing fresh energy, heartfelt storytelling, and a sound rooted in his island journey to HI Now Daily.
As an artist in Hawaiʻi, Nick’s music reflects growth, community, and the experiences that have shaped his voice. Joined by Zack Uchima, he will share more about his creative path, what this milestone means to him, and the story behind his original song “All I Can Do,” which he will perform during the segment.
Viewers can also catch Nick live on Saturday, July 4, at the Velvet Monkey at Kapono’s at the Lounge in Hawaii Kai. With two showtimes and an intimate waterfront setting, audiences can expect an up-close performance filled with personality, connection, and music that feels authentically local.
