Hawaiian Ukulele Master to 
Play at the Coffee Gallery

 Brittni Paiva (pie –VAH) 
already a multi award-winning 
instrumentalist is known for 
her stunning articulation of 
what she can do on the ukulele 
going from slow and moving, 
to rapid-fire, classical-ballet, 
to ancient Japan, translating 
forms of jazz, world beat, 
pop, Flamenco and Latin, 
and filter these styles through 
her 4-string ukulele will play 
the Coffee Gallery Backstage 
January 22 at 8 p.m. 

 Brittni and her ukulele are 
a brilliant match: Both are 
humble in nature, small in 
size, and very powerful with 
proper delivery. Brittni and 
the `ukulele in general have 
gained notoriety, no longer 
confined by stereotypes about 
the instrument. There’s a global 
resurgence in the instrument’s 
popularity and she is part of the 
trend. Web Page: brittnipaiva.

 She performed on stage 
with Carlos Santana when 
he appeared in Hawaii; also 
joined famed guitarist Tommy 
Emmanuel on stage at the 
California Worldfest; and 
become a 3-time Na Hoku 
Hanohano Award winner with 
numerous other nominations 
throughout the years, including 
Most Promising Artist of the 
Year in 2005 for her debut 
release, Brittni x 3. 

 Releasing her 5th CD with 
the legendary Grammy winner 
Tom Scott — who personally 
requested to play with her at 
a concert — thinks Paiva is 
the real deal, because of her 
ability to play all kinds of music 
without losing her identity. “She 
plays it like a guitar, giving her a 
wide range of possibilities. She 
adopts tunes to this instrument, 
and makes them sound full and 
rich. She’s doing a great job and 
has a great future…She’s got a 
really unique voice in music,” 
he raved. 

 Brittni received two 
nominations for this 5th CD 
and won both categories: 
Ukulele Album of the Year and 
Best Instrumental Composition 
of the Year from the Hawaii 
Academy of Recording Arts 
(Na Hoku Hanohano Awards). 
“Brittni brings a whole new 
spirit to the music and to the 
instrument: pop sensibilities in 
a smooth jazz format,” says John 
Schroeter, music producer and 
author of Between the Strings: 
The Secret Lives of Guitars. “It’s 
got a new kind of energy—it’s 
infectious.”

 Brittni is well-known in world 
music circles with millions of 
hits on YouTube. She began her 
music career at age four trained 
in classical piano through the 
Suzuki method. Seven years 
later, her grandfather gave 
her an `ukulele, a traditional 
4-string Hawaiian folk 
instrument. It was “love at first 
touch”. 

 The Coffee Gallery Backstage is 
located 2029 N. Lake, Altadena, 
CA. For reservations call (626)
