Israel "Bruddah IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole was born on May 20, 1959, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Israel began playing music at age 11 and released his first solo album, Ka'ano'i in 1990. He died in 1997 at age 38 of respiratory problems brought on by his morbid obesity. Despite his short life, his gentle ukulele playing and hauntingly beautiful voice made him a musical legend.
