Taking the Lead Media Podcast - Episode #177

Feb 27, 2026

My first guest of 2026! I actually had this chat a little bit before New Years Day 2026. I'm stoked to share with you my interview with Chad Kaya, local Maui musician who has been in projects such as Entity Awakened, Abandon the Raft, Owaila, The Kittinger Jump and more recent, Kū. We talk about it all. I've been following Chad's journey from Maui, to Las Vegas to San Diego and back to Maui. He writes some stellar riffs. Enjoy my chat with Chad Kaya. And hear some songs on Apple Music.
