What shines through is his authenticity and soul. It’s a pure line and good vibe, full of aloha, spirit and heart” — Carlos Niño (dublab, Leaving Records)

A newcomer to Honolulu’s music scene, Nick Kurosawa quickly gained attention in 2018 with his show-stopping soulful voice and three solid releases: Home, his debut EP on Aloha Got Soul; Coast To Coast, an internationally produced single with Japan’s Your Song Is Good; and Yonsei, a soul-hop collaboration with beatmaker Ohtoro on Zenbu Records.

Dedicated to the sounds of jazz and hip hop fusion, The Dae Han Ensemble pulls influence from the likes of Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder and J Dilla, remembering the sounds from the past, to blend with the present.
