About Jake Shimabukuro
Honolulu, Hawaii, native Jake Shimabukuro began playing the ukulele at age four, developing a technique that expanded the capabilities of the instrument. He became a household name after his rendition of George Harrison’s “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” went viral on YouTube. The musician was near Strawberry Fields in Central Park, recording an interview for the New York-based show Ukulele Disco in 2006. Since then, Shimabukuro has released more than 20 albums, collaborated with countless legendary musicians, and toured globally. Learn more about him at his website.
