Israel "IZ" Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole was a celebrated Native Hawaiian singer-songwriter, musician, and Hawaiian sovereignty activist. Born on May 20, 1959, he passed away on June 26, 1997.

“Bruddah Iz” was known for his unique music style, which blended traditional Hawaiian music with contemporary styles, including reggae and jazz. He was often accompanied by his ukulele in his performances.

He started his music career in the mid-1970s as part of the Hawaiian music group Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau, which contributed significantly to the resurgence of traditional Hawaiian music during that time.

His debut solo album, "Ka 'Ano'i," was released in 1990 and established him as a significant figure in Hawaiian music. But it was his 1993 album "Facing Future" that catapulted him to international fame, largely due to the inclusion of his ukulele-accompanied medley "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World". This album became the first Hawaiian album to be certified platinum.

Despite his musical success, Kamakawiwo'ole faced personal struggles with obesity, weighing at one point over 750 pounds. His health problems related to his weight eventually led to his untimely death in 1997.

Despite his passing, his influence and music continue to be cherished. His rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" continues to be popular, often used in movies, commercials, and TV shows. His advocacy for Hawaiian rights and independence has also left a lasting impact. He's remembered as a symbol of Hawaiian identity and pride.

At 3 a.m. one night in 1988, Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole called a local studio and said he needed to record something immediately.

He pleaded with the engineer: "Please, can I come in? I have an idea."

Kamakawiwo'ole recorded the iconic version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in one take, which would soon touch countless people across the globe.
