"Think Kenny Rankin, think James Taylor, think Kalapana. Kainalu's music is reminiscent of those artists and others, but these songs are all originals."


-John Berger of The Honolulu Star Advertiser


"Mellow and moody, his lyrics and gravel toned voice create a style reminiscent to me a little of Kalapana, but still more soulful and bluesy." 

-Sabrina Velazquez of Scene + Heard-Honolulu Pulse



"When Kainalu Busque sings, his accent completely melts away, and you’re suddenly listening to tenor singer-songwriter goodness reminiscent of John Mayer."


-Ed White of Nonstop Honolulu
