About

Lito Arkangel is the consummate showman who knows his art, its history, and can deliver both with finesse. His vocal stylings are stunning. He wraps his technique in a warm, accessible pallor, drawing in listeners and making them feel like they are an important part of the performance. That personal charisma sets Lito apart from others. His raffish, charm wins an audience's attention from the start and they respond, in kind, with a roar of applause and appreciative smiles. Lito surrounds the audience, embraces them with beautiful renditions of his songs, inviting them to experience the nuances and passion that color music of Hawai'i. Besides what Lito offers personally, I have witnessed how he brings other performers into the fold, expecting them, too, to share their music in intimate, meaningful ways. He is a born leader and instinctively knows when it is pono to share the stage. I would call his performances a study in aloha, for he is inclusive, inviting others to contribute to the audience's delight.

Lito was the cherry on top of our lovely sundae for our wedding ceremony and reception. He wore many hats as the top-notch singer/entertainer, the DJ for our music later in the evening, and the comedian/emcee that kept our crowd laughing and feeling welcome. Although he has a very laid back personality, he followed all of my bridezilla instructions to the "T" to help execute a flawless event. I'll never forget how his professionalism and aloha really made our wedding day special. We got many compliments on him and would book him again in a heartbeat.

I just recently got married and held a garden reception venue. Lito Arkangel was our entertainer. He provided traditional Hawaiian Music and the talk stories behind each song, which was so educational and wonderful. His rang of music can even take you back in time to the oldies but goodies time and era. His charm was enjoyed by all my guest, which made him so likeable throughout the reception. I would recommend Lito to anybody who wants top notch Hawaiian Music at their next event.

I've had the opportunity to work with and listen to Lito Arkangel perform many times and he is rightfully know as one of the best singers and entertainers in Hawaii. Anyone would be lucky to have him perform at their special, private event.
