Professional surfer Kekoa Cazimero celebrated his 21st birthday last week, taking over the rooftop at Dave and Buster’s at the Ward Entertainment Complex to party with his closest friends and family. Splitbreed also performed; DJ Da Lion of Judah co-hosted the party with Cazimero.
“The party was sick,” said Cazimero. “I had all my close friends there, everyone who means a lot to me in my real life. It was definitely a good time.”
Although he admitted not being the biggest Splitbreed fan going into the party, their energetic performance won him over almost immediately.
“Splitbreed killed it, for sure,” he said. “I actually met them the day of my party (when) they came to my house.
“They’re such a bunch of chill guys; everybody liked them. I’m definitely a fan.”
The party also doubled as a celebration of Cazimero’s newest sponsors, D&B’s and Bud Light. They join Hurley, HIC, Reef, Oakley, Da Kine and JN Audi in supporting his pro surfing career.
“They’re both huge assets to have, both well-known companies,” he said. “The support I’m getting from them is huge, so it’s defintely a blessing.”
Having just returned from filming surf footage in Fiji, Cazimero plans to enjoy life at home for a bit before heading back out on the road to surf even more this fall. He also plans to host a surf contest next month for Hawaii’s youth with support from D&B’s.

Bio
In a modern age of urban gang culture and hip-hop music, there finally comes an authentic tribe named SPLITBREED. This unique band continues a legacy of hardcore musical talent, Polynesian warrior spirit, pop-sensibility and blood ties. Real blood ties!
SPLITBREED is made up of two performing artists, brothers Kalani and Taui Mo'e, in close collaboration with Joey Mo'e, their cousin, as their main feature artist.
All three descended from island entertainment royalty, grandsons of pioneers of Hawaiian music. Music and storytelling is in their genes.
Kalani and Taui and grew up in Hawaii, then eight years ago SPLITBREED chose to make their home in the melting pot that is Las Vegas. They have since grown a healthy fan base, from performances in the most popular venues in Las Vegas, followed by their recent show success in Honolulu, Hawaii, on the roof tops of paradise. Their name is fast growing global recognition, from the US all the way across the pond to Europe.
Splitbreed's number one feature artist Joey, was a raised and currently lives in Copenhagen, Denmark. Where he has now become a star in the European R&B scene, as a singer, song writer, producer. His recent successes awarded by The Voice, Denmark in 2009; Artist of the Year, and awarded Platinum for his single YoYo, along with YoYo reaching 1million views on Youtube.
Not only are the Moe's alike in physical stature; tall, tanned, Hapa princes with flashing smiles of their ancestors. Similar life experience of being exposed to a variety of people and cultures has given the Mo'e boys the ability to appeal to the masses through their music.
SPLITBREED is an undeniable force of sound made up of the Mo'e tribe. But it is also shaped by the personal traits of its components. Kalani Mo'e brings a fiery energy, with lyrical passion and booming voice that rises from the depths of his soul. With the contrast of Taui Mo'e, who brings his intense, slick, simmering wit and poetic intelligence to the mix. While Joey Mo'e highlights with his amazing superstar singing range. All the Mo'e boys are skilled performers and producers.
Their genre is hard to label, their positive sound mixes Hip-Hop, Dance, R&B and Electro. A fresh take on a style of music that has cultured the heart on modern culture. An urban outcry with a difference. SPLITBREED is tempered by a real message of hope and lust for life.
