Anuheake'alaokalokelani Jenkins (Anuhea) is a self-taught guitarist & song writer from the island of Maui in Hawaii. Anuhea descends from Hawaiian, Chinese, German & Welsh ethnic backgrounds.
Performing at local coffee shops, these gigs turned into paid restaurant gigs & eventually a band came together of friends from around the island.
Anuhea's first real demo CD "Rough Cuts" was originally a collection of recordings from a live taping for a public radio station in which she re-created. Through her myspace page she was discovered by manager/record label co-owner, Warren Wyatt.
A naturally gifted songwriter, Anuhea's word choices are a clever balance of emotions where each song tells a unique story in which each story is a lesson learned. Anuhea wants to be a part of a new generation, melding the melodic traditions of her island upbringing with modern beats & influences.
Music has been in Anuhea's family for generations, so it was inevitable that her seeded passions would reflect the same.
The future is bright for this Maui songbird. Anuhea's determination, passion, optimism & pure raw talent are the foundations for the success that is to come.
