over 5 years in Star Advertiser
When Kelly “Kelly Boy” De Lima, lead vocalist of the group Kapena, became a father early in 1988 he named his son Kapena. When young Kapena chose drum lessons over playing football, the boy found his life’s calling. Kapena De Lima grew up working with his father as a duo separate from the group. He mastered other instruments along the way; sat in on keyboards with the entire Kapena group at the 2000 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards, and eventually became an official member.
