Biography:
John Cruz is an extremely versatile modern Hawaiian music artist, and won a Grammy for his contributions to the craft in 2005. It's amazing that he has only released one album in the last decade, yet has continued to tour extensively and is very generous with his fans.
Another album is in the works though! His biggest chart hit to date is "Shine On", a timeless ballad.
