Brittni Paiva

At 25 years of age, multi-award winning musician Brittni Paiva has released 5 solo CD’s and is a pioneer of her trade, using a looping device and recording multiple parts of a song (bass line, percussion & rhythm) all live on stage.  It takes an immense amount of talent and practice to get all the parts of a song in sync with each other as well as having it sound much like the original.  For the Pride Festival, Brittni is working on her arrangement of Katy Perry’s song, “I Kissed a Girl”.  Its no secret that Brittni was recently married under Hawaii’s new law that granted same sex couples the right to marry.  Brittni was excited at the chance to participate and spread her joy and love through her music and hopes that no matter gay, straight or bisexual, people enjoy her musical performance and the days festivities.
