While learning how to stand as a baby, Pumehana Davis would crawl up the base of the harp while her sister, Momi, was practicing, getting a few bass strings in too. When Momi decided to move out of the house, Mom asked,”Want to learn the harp? It’s going to go unless you want to take lessons.” “Yes, yes, yes.” Already starting out on the piano for 4 years, Pumehana, progressed to eight years of private harp instruction. In her teens she performed symphonic work on O’ahu and Maui. Over time, Pumehana was able to expand her repertoire to include many different genres; Classical, Hawaiian, Love Ballads, Movie Themes, Jazz, Standards, Broadway, Classic Rock, a little of this and a little of that.
