Isabeau Waia’u Walker Brings New Tunes to the World Famous Kenton Club

Isabeau Waia’u Walker isn’t looking for forever, but her latest release Cloudhunter will surely stand the test of time.

Her musical career began as a YouTube channel, where Walker would record and post several times a week, eventually earning the nickname “Cloudhunter” from an early listener based in France, who commented that Walker chased the gray clouds away, making way for the sun.
