Locally, he’s played with such notable musicians as Brothers Cazimero, and Amy Hanaiali’i Gilliom.

When the production of “Wicked” comes to town in November, he will be a part of that as well.

But when he is not on stage, Broadwell helps people plan their own birthday parties, weddings, luaus, corporate mixers, anniversaries and retirement parties through his business, Hawaii Live Music Company.

Broadwell, who moved to Hawaii in 1987 from Los Angeles, has 25 years of entertainment and music industry experience, during which he has enjoyed the roles of musician, bandleader, music director and composer/arranger.
