Roy and Kathy Sakuma started their record label in 1987, bringing the beauty and versatility of the ukulele to a much wider audience.

Their first project, Ohta-San, received the Na Hoku Hanohano award for Instrumental of the Year. Since then, Roy Sakuma Productions has won several more Hoku awards for recording projects.

Today the Roy Sakuma Productions label is home to an eclectic, refreshing collection of musical styles. Artists range from the energetic island contemporary and traditional sounds of Ka'au Crater Boys, and Palolo, to the expressive musical creations of Ohta-San and the rich, soft jazz harmonies of Lyle Ritz. You'll also discover Hawaii's finest jazz drummer, Noel Okimoto, the youthful exuberance of Joy, the slack-key ukulele solos of Daniel Ho and the next generation of Hawaiian music represented by Keoki Kahumoku on slack-key guitar, Herb Ohta, Jr. on ukulele, and the vocal harmonies of Holunape - connecting us to the heart and soul of Hawaii's music.
