Meet Lance Motogawa

By the time Lance Motogawa graduated from Pearl City High School in 1987, he knew that music was his future. He began composing rap songs, demonstrated a near-perfect ability to play an electric keyboard by ear, and joined Club Rox Rock, Hawaii’s inaugural notable rap group, alongside Dwayne Oyama, Chris Traya, and Lionel “Black Hawaiian” Wright. The quartet kept working until it released its first album, “Hyped, Dope, Def & Direct,” in 1991, but that was as far as it went. Motogawa resurrected his solo career and persevered. He hosted a radio show, got into advertising sales, learned about marketing, and applied his recording studio skills to producing commercials and writing jingles.
