Rise & Shine, Alx Kawakami

Rise & Shine is a call to action. Get up, face your challenges and create your own opportunities. This collection of songs is about life, love and fun - often recalling the struggles, stumbles and victories encountered along the way. "Count From Ten" invokes your young and fun memories. "Smile," written for a true love, is a song of promise. And, while the broken heart in "I Won't Wait" vows to take a step back before moving on, "Fireknife" is a fun and energetic beach party on O'ahu.
