Formed in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 2013, P∆G∑ started with a simple vision of making music that told a conceptual story from start to end. Circa 2015, they released a two part album series, The Arrow’s Path and Dark Matter. Their sound pulls tide with indie-psych-prog and atmospheric-dream-rock which is expressed through sonic drums, dream-melodic guitar, anchoring bass, and angelic vocal melodies.
From 2013 to 2015, this tight-knit band performed their stories within the Honolulu nightlife scene at various venues. They opened for larger traveling performing artists such as This Will Destroy You and Screaming Females and alongside other creative bands in the Honolulu local scene. Reconnected in 2017 to present, P∆G∑ continues to create with a new ensemble of music, concepts, and intimate performances. This group is one to look out for as they will be releasing their third album, Conditions of the Heart, in 2020.

]]>Separately, Nani and Danny have both been involved in Hawaiian music for their entire life. Nani learned hula at an early age from her mother, a student of Hienie Kalehualaha'ole Blaisedell of Molokai and Kawaikapuokalani Hewett. She ‘unukied as a kumu at the tender age of 14, released her first solo album East of Maui at the age of 21, and has toured with Hawaiian music legends George Kahumoku, Jr., Ledward Ka’apana, and Daniel Ho.
Danny’s journey in Hawaiian music began with his parents as well, who were students of the late great slack key master Raymond Kāne. He later learned the tradition of kīhoʻalu from Ozzie Kotani, and would go on to share the indigenous art form on nationally broadcasted radio shows From The Top and A Prairie Home Companion. His three solo albums, Slack Key Journey, Somewhere, and Ke Au Hou were each nominated for Nā Hoku Hanohano awards, and he was also featured on the Grammy Nominated slack key compilation Slack Key Kings.
Together, they have toured across the United States sharing their unique blend of Hawaiian and contemporary music.
