In 1979 the Hawai‘i Academy of Recording Arts created a comedy category. The Hoku Award for Most Promising Artist was presented to a young new comedian named Andy Bumatai for his debut recording "Hawaii's First Stand Up Comic." That was more than two decades ago, and Andy went on to become one of Hawai‘i's most respected comic talents. Although he's constantly reinventing himself, Andy's first love –and the foundation of his career drive – is stand up comedy. "Brain Child" accurately represents this love and showcases not only Andy's multi-talented approach, but more importantly, his astute observational comedy.
