High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Jake Shimabukuro (born November 3, 1976 in Honolulu, Hawai?i) is a ukulele virtuoso known for his complex finger work. His music combines elements of jazz, rock and pop. Shimabukuro's mother gave him a ukulele at age four and he quickly took interest in the instrument. A fifth generation Japanese American, Jake initially gained attention in Hawai?i in 1998 as a member of Pure Heart, a trio with Lopaka Colon (percussion), and Jon Yamasato (guitar). Jake was working at a music store in Honolulu when the group released their eponymous debut album, featuring a sound and style somewhat similar to the Ka?au Crater Boys. Their debut album won them four Na Hoku Hanohano Awards (the Hawaiian counterpart of the Grammy Awards): Island Contemporary Album of the Year, Most Promising Artist(s), Album of the Year and Favorite Entertainment of the Year, the latter determined by unrestricted public vote.
