The H?k?le‘a is currently in Cape Town, South Africa–passing the halfway mark on its journey around the world.  For the crew, the sail around the tip of South Africa was considered the most dangerous leg of the journey.  Upon arriving in Cape Town- A Hawai‘i  delegation of crew, educators, students and families meet with Archbishop Desmond Tutu for a series of humanitarian events.  We checked in with N?‘?lehu Anthony as part of our ongoing series, H?k?le‘a: Voyage of Aloha.

Nick Yee’s passion for music developed at an early age, as he collected jazz and rock records pulled from dusty locations while growing up in both Southern California and Honolulu. In college he started DJing around Honolulu, playing Jazz and Bossa Nova sets at various lounges and clubs under the name dj mr.nick. He started to incorporate Downtempo, House and Breaks into his sets as his popularity grew, eventually getting DJ residences at different Chinatown locations. To this day, he is a fixture in the Honolulu underground club scene, where his live sets are famous for being able to link musical and cultural boundaries, starting mellow and building the audience into a frenzy while steering free of mainstream clichés.
