TJ Mayeshiro
Profile
Born and raised in Manoa Valley on the island of O’ahu, Tj Mayeshiro began playing the ukulele at the tender age of 10, learning from some of the top ukulele players in Hawaii including Bruce Shimabukuro and Brian Eberly.
While growing up, he also played the piano and was intrigued with the compositions by Chopin and Mozart. Eventually, his love for ukulele won over piano and he continued to be influenced by the styles of greats like Gordon Mark and Jake Shimabukuro.
For Tj, a ukulele hobby now has blossomed quickly into a budding career. At the age of 13, Mayeshiro won the 1st annual Aloha Tower Ukulele Contest. One year later, he won the Dukes Ukes Ukulele Contest. Now at the age of 20, Mayeshiro is teaching ukulele to students ranging from elementary to high school age at Iolani School in Honolulu. As well, he performs in numerous private gigs and twice a week as part of the popular trio, Heart & Soul (alongside Micah Ganiron and Jody Kamisato) at the Disney Aulani Resort on O’ahu.
