More small and side businesses are shifting to virtual ways of conducting operations and serving their customers. This business educational event will share the experience of HCCNC Board Member, Steven Espaniola, who took his music teaching business virtual following COVID-19, and has grown it to be larger than before.

Steven will share his story of overcoming the challenges from last year, and transforming to virtual only, and we’ll have a Q&A from Steven. We welcome both individual and business members to join the event, and would love to hear from other businesses on what you’re doing as well.

About Steven Espaniola:

Raised in Aliamanu, Hawai‘i and now residing in the California Bay Area, Steven is a multi-instrumentalist specializing in kī hōʻalu (Hawaiian slack key guitar), ‘ukulele, upright bass, and leo kiʻekiʻe (traditional Hawaiian falsetto). Of Hawaiian, Filipino, and Spanish decent, his ethnicity is as diverse as his unique sound which preserves the integrity of the traditional with a flourish of the modern. His debut recording entitled Ho‘omaka, “to begin”, features a mesmerizing collection of traditional and original Hawaiian mele recorded by Nā Hōkū Hanohano award-winning producer Dave Tucciarone. Ho‘omaka will be sure to transport the listener to the Hawai‘i of yesterday with soaring falsetto vocals, nahenahe slack key guitar and rhythmic ‘ukulele. Steven Espaniola’s highly anticipated debut album will carry you on a musical journey you won’t soon forget. In 2007, Steven’s musical efforts earned him the recognition of “New Artist of the Year” at the Hawai’i Music Awards. (www.stevenespaniola.com)
