“So much magic unfolded in such short order. Within the first moments of Taimane's stunning set, we hear her play fiery flamenco, a famous phrase from the opera Carmen, a touch of Bach and more than a nod to her Hawaiian homeland, all on her ukulele.”
- Bob Boilen, Host of NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk Concert’ Series

"If you didn’t know ukulele virtuosity is a thing, get on board. Taimane Gardner is not just in her own league on the instrument she’s a captivating performer as well. And on top of that, she’s a masterful songwriter and interpreter. Ukulele, meet your triple threat."
- Grammy.com

With over 500,000 online followers, 50+ million video views and a wildly-popular signature 'ukulele, Hawaii's Taimane has established herself as one of the most popular 'ukulele players in the world and a cultural torchbearer for her home state and Polynesia as a whole. Notably, Taimane has garnered these achievements by blazing her own trail, taking the 'ukulele to places never before seen and delivering fiery performances that enrapture seemingly everyone who bears witness, from Berlin to Beijing.

A virtuoso, songwriter, singer and theater producer, Taimane conjures deep emotions through both beautiful originals and one-of-a-kind mashups (seemingly disparate songs (e.g. Led Zeppelin and Beethoven) merged into medleys with pop appeal). Seeing her perform live makes clear that Taimane is an entertainer first and foremost. With a take-no-prisoners attitude and carefully crafted shows that are the polar opposite of recitals, Taimane demands viewers’ attention every second of every performance eliciting intense, “wow” reactions on cue while leading her audiences on a journey through a wide-range of experiences - mystical, dark and playful.

Add it all up, and it’s easy to see how this hapa Samoan (part indigenous Samoan and part caucasian) artist from a small island in the middle of the Pacific (Oahu, Hawaii) has earned four Nā Hōkū Hanohano awards (Hawaii’s highest musical honor) and garnered a legion of fans worldwide.
