Stan Walker is walking and singing down a path that has a foundation in his kupuna. The Aotearoa recording artist, who is also an actor and TV personality, overcame many obstacles and strives to find the vibe knowing that others at home and across the Pacific appreciate what he does for his people, language, culture, and, of course, music.

Hawaii News Now's Billy V caught up with the artist to learn more about his visit to the islands, the audience that continuously surrounds him, and what he loves about Hawaii and its people.

Catch Stan Walker in concert on March 22 at Bishop Museum in Honolulu and next week in Kona and Lihue.
