Mark Yamanaka

Mark Yamanaka is an American musician, vocalist, and songwriter from Hilo, Hawaii. Mentored by kumu hula Johnny Lum Ho in the late 1990s,〔 by 2003 Yamanaka was performing a mix of folk and traditional and contemporary Hawaiian music with the band Times Five.〔 Yamanaka's debut solo album ''Lei Pua Kenikeni'' (2010)〔 reached No. 8 on the ''Billboard'' World Albums chart,〔 and led to Yamanaka winning four Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards in 2011,〔 including Male Vocalist of the Year and Most Promising Artist.〔
In 2013 he released his first single, "Maui Under Moonlight,"〔 and a month later released the solo album ''Lei Maile,'' which reached No. 9 on the World Albums Chart.〔 The album and single led to ten nominations for Yamanaka at the Hoku Awards,〔 the most for any artist that year.〔 Yamanaka won five categories, including Album of the Year and Hawaiian Music Album of the Year.〔 Regularly touring in the United States and Japan,〔 his live band consists of Bert Naihe on acoustic guitar and Eddie Atkins on bass.〔
==Early life and education==
Mark Yamanaka was born in the city of Mililani, O'ahu,〔〔 and from a young age he was raised in the town of Hilo, Hawaii.〔 Of Japanese heritage,〔 Yamanaka self-identifies as 'iwi, or native son of Hawai'i.〔 Though he originally had no interest in learning music, he listened to diverse music growing up, and while appreciative of local artists such as Gary Haleamau and Dennis Pavao he also was influenced by vocalists such as Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, Peabo Bryson and Mariah Carey.〔
While attending Hilo Intermediate School in 1992 he began playing ukulele on his own, and soon began teaching himself acoustic guitar as well. He also discovered he had a clear falsetto singing voice,〔 and began jamming with friends in backyards.〔 In 1997 Yamanaka began learning Hawaiian music from Johnny Lum Ho, a notable kumu hula from Hilo〔 known for composing original songs and covering both traditional music.〔 Yamanaka graduated from Hilo High School〔 and became the first member of his family to pursue music as a career.〔
