Background:
Herb Ohta, internationally renowned musician, began playing the ukulele when he was only 7 years old.  Influenced greatly by Hawaiian ukulele virtuoso Eddie Kamae, this exceptional musician has elevated the ukulele from an accompaniment solo instrument status.  He extends his love of the ukulele from Hawaiian music to classical, jazz, rock, pop, and Latin music as well.  Ohta-San's diversity and style reflect his lyrical sense and is respected as the height of ukulele artistry.  He is the only known master of the ukulele instrument to have over 300 tunes played on national radio.

Ohta-San with over 40 albums to his credit, continues to fascinate his fans in the U.S., Canada, France, Australia, Japan, Mexico, Brazil and beyond.  His successful hit,  "Song for Anna" composed by famed French composer and conductor Andre Popp, has sold over 6 million copies throughout the world
