Keola Donaghy Email & Phone Number | I am an Assistant Professor of Music and faculty coordinator of both Music Studies and the Institute of Hawaiian Music at University of Hawai‘i Maui College. Outside of my work at the College, I am very active in the Hawaiian music community. I serve on the Board of Directors of PBS Hawai‘i and the Board of Governors of the Hawai‘i Academy of Recording Arts (“Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards”). I attended Kīhei Elementary and St. Anthony High School on Maui. Our family moved to Hilo in 1994 when I enrolled at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Hawaiian Studies from UH-Hilo in 1999, a graduate certificate in Telecommunications and Information Resource Management from UH-Mānoa in 2000, and Master of Arts in Hawaiian Language and Literature from UH-Hilo in 2003. In my MA thesis, I compared stress patterns in Hawaiian language as spoken and sung, by analyzing the compositions and musical performances of John Kameaaloha Almeida. I also hold a Ph.D. in Music (Ethnomusicology) from the University of Otago in Dunedin, Aotearoa (New Zealand). My thesis is entitled “The Language Is The Music: Perceptions of Authority and Authenticity in Hawaiian Language Composition and Vocal Performance”, the result of an ethnographic inquiry that engaged seventeen practitioners of Hawaiian language poetic composition and vocal performance in discussions about recordings of their choosing. I co-wrote all but one Hawaiian song and was assistant producer on Kenneth Makuakāne’s solo debut, Makuakane. I was honored to have a Christmas mele I wrote, “Ke Aloha Kalikimaka” recorded by Keali‘i Reichel on his release Maluhia. My composition “Nā Hōkū Pio ‘Ole” was selected as the theme song for the 30th anniversary Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards. Some of my compositions have been recorded by Kainani Kahaunaele, Amy Hānaiali‘i, The De Lima ‘Ohana, Mailani Makainai, The Pandanus Club, Steven Espaniola and O’Brian Eselu.
