Kyle Henderson

13-year-old Kyle Henderson developed a love for music at a young age.

At age 6, he was introduced to the ‘ukulele and went on to play violin and piano.

At age 12, a trip to the Big Island and the Hawai‘i Island Steel Guitar festival introduced him to the beautiful sound of the steel guitar. This experience led him to learn the steel guitar under Kumu Alan Akaka.

Kyle has been playing away ever since.
