Jody Kamisato was born in 1977 in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. Music has been an integral part of Jody’s upbringing. At just seven years of age, Jody’s elementary school teacher gave him his first ʻukulele lesson, and at the age of eight, he began performing with the Honolulu Boy Choir. During the next five years he had the opportunity to travel all over the United States, record on an album, and sing on several national TV shows as well as commercials. As a member of the “BS Band” with Bruce Shimabukuro and Gary Akiona, they performed throughout Hawai’i and toured Japan on numerous occasions to do live shows and ‘ukulele workshops. In 2005 Jody’s original song “Ainakoa” was selected for “Aloha Tofu’s” official commercial song.

In 2007, Jody opened his own ʻukulele school called ʻUkulele Hale located in Kaimuki. With a talented and dedicated staff, he foresees a bright and successful future and looks forward to a variety of exciting projects with ‘Ukulele Hale including community service opportunities, public performances and a future Japan tour.
