Daniel Pak (formerly Kore Ionz)

Love and aloha are the two magic ingredients singer-songwriter Daniel Pak stirs into his songs of freedom that stem from an upbringing on reggae riddims and uplifting island style melodies. Born and raised in Hawai`i, Pak has dedicated his life to embodying the warmth and soul of the islands into every strum, beat, and lyric."Storytelling is a big part of kanikapila (jamming), and we would jam every weekend back when we were kids," Pak explains. "When the `ukuleles came out, everybody sang. Nobody had a cell phone back then. We were so much more human."
