Who am I?

Tropical drink served in a tiki mug with citrus garnish and fresh orange on dark background.

My name is Steve. I’m nobody in particular. I’m not an expert in tiki. I’m not an expert in music. I’m just a dude who enjoys both of those things and wants to document my exploration into the music of tiki culture. So feel free to follow along as I go down this rabbit hole.

There are 3 things I would like to do.

  1. Make and share playlists.
  2. Learn about and share the history of this interesting music.
  3. And (the most ambitious goal) map out how these sounds are all related.
