Speaker Bio:
Drew Henmi, is kind of like Batman, but way more basic. By day, instead of traipsing around as a billionaire philanthropist, he’s a Communications Specialist at the Hawai‘i State Department of Education. By night, instead of honing in on the bad guys, he’s honing his craft as a singer-songwriter, producer and performer. But nonetheless, day or night, he loves what he does. A Na Hoku Hano Hano nominated musician, Drew views music not as a hobby or side hustle, but a necessary and vital part of his creative expression.
Olivia Thai, lives in six different cities, and travels regularly as a musician and serial entrepreneur. She started her first business at the age of 12 selling purses and clothing items on eBay and Yahoo Auctions. When she was 15, she began her music career as an independent artist, which led her to sing the national anthem for the LA Clippers and Sparks, earn the championship of Taiwan Idol in 2009, 21 million YouTube views on her artist channel, over 2 million fans across multiple platforms, and she was on American Idol in 2016. Olivia opened a music academy when she was 22 years old, and sold it when she was 28. Currently, she manages four businesses including 23 vacation homes while finishing her linguistics and journalism degrees at UC Berkeley full-time.
