"The sound of acoustic and classical guitars has been a life-long obsession of mine", says 47th Grammy Award-winner Charles Michael Brotman. "There are magical moments when all the right components come together – a beautiful acoustic guitar, a great guitarist, the right room..." Producer Charles Michael Brotman won the 2005 GRAMMY Award for the inaugural category of Best Hawaiian Music CD for "Slack Key Guitar Volume 2". The recording debuted at #1 on the Billboard World Music Chart and simultaneously in the #1 position on the Billboard New Age Music Chart. He produced, engineered and mastered one of Hawaii's five 2006 GRAMMY Award Nominee CDs, "Slack Key Guitar: The Artistry of Sonny Lim". Brotman is a multiple Na Hoku Hanohano Award recipient. In the past few years, several of his guitar recordings have charted in the top 10 on national radio charts. He is known throughout Japan and the US for his role as the lead guitarist for KOHALA, his acoustic guitar trio from the Big Island of Hawaii. He is also an internationally recognized composer. Brotman grew up on Mercer Island, Washington, and his first introduction to formal music lessons was at age 8 as a violin student at the Cornish School of the Arts. At age 12 he discovered the guitar and performed with various bands throughout Washington State during his teens. He attended undergraduate school in music at the Cornish Institute and The Evergreen State College. He moved to Honolulu in 1976, attended UH, and received an M.A. degree in music from the University of Hawaii at Manoa where he taught classical guitar for nine years. During the 1980s, Brotman performed music at many hotels in Honolulu, including The Kahala Hilton, The Halekulani, and The Hawaii Prince. He left teaching in the mid 1980's to pursue work as a composer and producer, opening a commercial recording studio, Pacific Music Productions, Honolulu. In 1990 Brotman moved to the Big Island with his family and in 1997 he and his sister, Jody Brotman, co-founded Palm Records and built Lava Tracks Recording Studio. Charles Michael Brotman currently performs and tours with Kohala and composes and produces out of his Lava Tracks Recording Studio in Kamuela on the Big Island.
