Kala’e Parish is in the kitchen this week. He has been a professional musician and entertainer in Hawai’i since 2013 performing throughout the islands and abroad. In 2016, he began his solo journey as an artist performing at steady spots in Honolulu and recording his very first EP. This new EP titled Where I Reside hit the airwaves in December 2020. With all original songs written and composed by Kala’e, this eclectic, 6-track EP is a fresh twist of music from pop country infused with lyrics about his island home to smooth latin rock to love ballads. In 2020, Kala’e was a featured songwriter on Kuha’o Maunakea, an 18-track compilation album with some of Hawai’is top performers, and was recognized at the 2020 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards for his composition of “We Are A Voice” featured on that album. In 2021, "Where I Reside" by Kala’e won a Na Hoku Hanohano Award for Extended Play (EP) of the year. Kala’e has performed with top artists Henry Kapono, Brother Noland, Kapena, and John Cruz to name a few. As a Hawai’i Island artist residing in beautiful Waimea, he continues to perform regularly throughout all the islands and is actively in the recording studio with new original music to be released soon. Cooking Hawaiian Style was excited to bring this gifted artist in to our kitchen where he shares his recipe for something to warm your body on the cool Waimea nights, Pork Bok Choy Soup and a song to warm your heart.
