Today we’d like to introduce you to Kekoa Tsukiyama.
From the Island of Oahu emerges singer/songwriter Kekoa Tsukiyama. Deeply rooted in his passion for R&B, his soulful voice mixed with Island Reggae beats helped breed success across the Hawaiian Islands.
At the ripe age of 18, he created CitySide. In 3 short years their Debut album “Welcome To The CitySide” was released, producing the #1 Hit “Come On Pretty Baby” and crowd favorite “Lady Soul.”
Their Sophomore Album “Welcome II The CitySide” with the recent Grammy-winning producer and engineer Dave Tucciarone didn’t disappoint with another #1 hit in “Ooh.”
In 2013, Kekoa decided to venture out and move to the Pacific Northwest to pursue his music career.
After making his presence felt there, Kekoa decided to move to sunny San Diego and worked with renowned Producer Lewis Richards on the single “People Unite”. He quickly followed that up with the dance hall inspired “Feel Good” and the inspiring “Smile” and “Warrior.”
Things are looking bright for CitySide. With new music in the works as well as Tours, be sure to catch a show near you…
CitySide has shared the stage with the likes of Big Mountain, Rebelution, Common Kings, and J Boog, just to name a few. Check out CitySide’s latest release “Gimme.”
Has it been a smooth road?
Sometimes, it’s really easy sometimes it’s really tough. My biggest struggle is being away from my family and friends in Hawaii but I know it will be worth it.
Please tell us more about your work, what you are currently focused on and most proud of.
I am a singer/ songwriter/musician and I perform as a solo act and also with a band. I specialize in songwriting and vocals and that is what I take pride in most.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
I see my music being spread all over the world. That’s the plan.
