Landeza, who won the award for Slack Key Album of the Year with his most recent release "Slack Key Huaka`i," began studying guitar as a teenager. The CD, which means "Slack Key Journey," is aptly-named. "I started learning slack key because I was around it all my life" says Landeza. "My uncles played, and at first I learned from them." After learning all he could from his uncles, Landeza went on to study under slack key's musical "royalty." Raymond Kane, Cyril Pahinui, George Kuo, and Dennis Kamakahi all took the young guitarist under their wings. Kamakahi, who won the Ki Ho`alu Foundation Legacy Award on Saturday, is quoted as saying that it is "testimony to his hard work and perseverance" that Landeza "is the first mainland-born Hawaiian to win this very prestigious music award" and that Landeza should "continue to strive for the best and bring pride to our Hawaiian culture."
