Neal Chin has been playing music since he was a child. He is still passionate about music just as he was when he first picked up an `ukulele. He has performed with Da Bodyguards, and is currently working on solo work and collaborating with other musicians. Neal also performs on the guitar and is an avid listener of blues and jazz music.


Neal has been teaching `ukulele for the past 7 years on Maui and is now a student at the University of Hawai`i, Manoa campus. He likes to spend most of his time practicing `ukulele and guitar, and jamming with different people. He also enjoys painting, going to museums, bike riding, and whenever possible, going to great concerts.


In Neal’s own words, “I've been having so much fun working with the kids and can't wait for the next class!  I'm excited and honored to be a part of `Ukulele Hale.  It’s been a great learning experience for me and I still can't believe I get to do this as a job.”
