About Aloha Joe

Internationally-known Hawaiian radio personality

Aloha Joe has been in love with Hawaii for as long as he can remember. He is an Emmy Award-winning producer, writer and composer who spent many years producing, developing and announcing television game shows.

When the opportunity to produce a Hawaiian music program arose, he jumped from network television to radio — becoming the on-air personality behind The Aloha Joe Radio Show on the Aloha Radio Network (ARN) since 1994.

Each week the Aloha Radio Network is one of the top-rated Hawaiian music outlets on the Internet. Aloha Joe’s live, daily shows are heard worldwide by the largest audience for Hawaiian music anywhere. ARN has expanded to eight specialized stations — Relaxation Island, Pacific Jaz, Slack Key Island, Tiki Radio, Ukulele Island, Steel Guitar Island, and the 24/7 holiday station, Aloha Joe Christmas.

Since 2002, Joe has produced Hawaiian music compilations for Cord International and his own label — many of which have won Hawaii Music Awards. He also airs a single you can only hear on Fridays: “Happy Aloha Friday (T.G.I.A.F.).”

Aloha Joe was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and after high school moved to New York and then Los Angeles, graduating from California State University, Los Angeles with a degree in Theatre Arts. His wife was born and raised in Hawaii and is a great supporter of Hawaiian music. Joe has written, created and produced television programming for all of the major networks and has worn many hats — producer, director, choreographer, writer, announcer and performer. With Brittni Paiva he co-wrote “Dreaming of Hawaii,” featured on the album Aloha from Paradise.
