Challenge 2014...We Did It!

Hawaiʻi Public Radio | By Nick Yee (dj mr.nick)

Published April 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM HST

In a flurry of phone calls, Hawaii Public Radio ended its Challenge 2014 pledge drive. In all, we raised over one million dollars to keep programing and news on the air. Hawaii Public Radio would like to say thank you to our wonderful members and listeners who made this accomplishment possible!

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.
