Aloha! I am Bruddah Vince. Originally from O'ahu, Hawaii (Born in Waikiki), I've been living in Southern California for over 20 years and have been playing music for over 30 years. I've previously played in a band and love the Solo performer experience. Playing Island music & Hawaiian music on my guitar & ukulele takes me back to the Islands with every performance.
For your event, I'll introduce myself to your audience, encourage requests and customize your event by making any necessary announcements and other relevant information in order to promote guest delight. People have shared with me that "I bring the Islands to them". I feel that performing music is my calling while I pursue a degree in 'Music Therapy'.
I'd love to make your event a memorable one. For cozy settings, I can sing and play unplugged. For a room setting, I can plug into my guitar amp. For larger gatherings up to 100 people, I can provide a P.A. system. My goal is to have you sit back, relax and forget about your worries while the music soothes your soul!

***Plus Many More***
I need an electrical outlet within 100 feet of the performance area.
Shade or covering for outdoor performances is appreciated.
I need to know if there are stairs or obstacles that would inhibit using a rolling cart to transport equipment.
I bring a guitar amplifier. I can also provide a PA system upon request.
I can provide musical tracks from my phone for ambience before, between and after sets.
Best Gig I've ever done was an 80th birthday party that a daughter threw for her father.
Best venue I've worked at so far was Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel.
My favorite events are backyard parties and restaurant events. People are always having a good time.
I started performing at High School Assemblies and family parties. Later, I started gigging at coffee shops, then bars / lounges / restaurants and now festivals & private gigs.
A great influence has been a Finger-style Guitarist named Tommy Emmanuel. Another great influence as a Singer-Songwriter is Ed Sheeran....Also: Ka'au Crater Boys, John Cruz, Blayne Asing, Ben Vegas, Kenneth Makuakane, Kalapana, Cecilio & Kapono, Pure Heart, Imua, Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, Kulaiwi, Kui Lee, Don Ho, and much more…
I usually arrive 1 1/2 hours before showtime to get situated with you [the client] about the desired performance area and proceed to setup amplification and instruments. I commonly perform for 2 hours (One 55 minute set / 5 minute break / 60 minute set). Packing up usually takes up to 1 hour.
Outside performances are fun. Overhead coverings or shade is always appreciated.
I'm willing to learn a song or two. Clients may also make a custom set-list from my song library.
Previous customers say that my performances takes them to the Islands of Hawai'i.
Vocals, Guitar, and Ukulele.
