An article from the Wall Street Journal, Arts & Entertainment section titled "Searching for Hawaii's Next Big Star". Some interesting facts on Iz's 1993 album "Facing Future". It's the only album by a Hawaiian artist to go Platinum. The article says it's been 17 years since it came out and there has been a drought on commercial music from the islands. Local record executives are trying to find the next "Iz". Interesting read but more so for the "Locals".
