Kaleb Hikele has taken an interesting path on his way to becoming the singer/songwriter he is today. Having picked up music by learning classical piano at five years of age, he went on to play in a number of punk and alternative bands during high school before finally branching out on his own in 2007. Since then, he’s found the time to release five albums (one live) as well as an EP. He’s a busy man, indeed.
Hikele’s latest releases, which are still recorded solo, fall under the name The Sun Harmonic. His music is rooted in folk, but contains traces of alternative, bringing a Ben Harper-like feel to many of his songs.
His diverse musical background may be his greatest asset. His songs can go from a crawl to an uplifting feel with little notice and he knows when it’s appropriate to get loud with both his guitar and voice.
With so many releases under his belt, it’s a wonder that music as good as Hikele’s isn’t known to a wider audience. But who knows, maybe his latest, 2010’s Chemistry will be the one that propels him to wider recognition…
