Producer - Dean Osaki
Dean Osaki brings over 30 years of experience creating entertainment, sporting events and community initiatives in California and Hawai‘i.

Dean has produced figure skating “concerts on ice” for Olympic Gold Medalist Kristi Yamaguchi and her Always Dream charity, featuring the world’s finest skaters performing to live musical performances.

Dean’s love of Hawaiian music led him to create the first large-scale Hawaiian Music Festival called Sounds of Hawai‘i on the West Coast. He continues to produce concerts for Hawai‘i’s renowned female group, Na Leo Pilimehana.

Co-Producer - Jake Shimabukuro
Over the past two decades, Jake Shimabukuro has proven there isn’t a style of music he can’t play. Coupling a creative approach and transcendent skills, Jake continues to explore his seemingly limitless vocabulary through jazz, rock, blues and even classical music.

 In 2021, he released the wildly ambitious and successful Jake & Friends, featuring collaborations with a who’s who of music royalty, including Bette Midler, Jimmy Buffett and Kenny Loggins. 

As Co-Producer, Jake’s passion is to build a world music festival for Hawai‘i that features an array of music artists across genres, from the US - including local artists from Hawaii - to Asia and beyond.
