Brittni Paiva – Four Strings: The Fire Within
Author: Tim // Category: New releases, US BandsFrom Hawaii, Brittni Paiva has taken her preferred instrument, the Ukulele and since 2005 has been creating upbeat heartfelt instrumental music, which she describes as reflecting her emotional life.
Brittni has garnered considerable interest and following in Hawaii and is now aiming to bring her music to a wider audience and her album Four Strings: The Fire within, due for release on 27th October, is a composition which comprises her most soul searching work to date, is set to bring the Ukulele to a far broader audience. This is a release which brings out the very best in an under-utilised instrument and it is great to hear someone showcasing this effectively with a well produced album, which sees the slower more emotional tracks alongside dance tempo.
The new 10 track album, which incorporates both original work and covers, is now available from

Your musicianship is awesome. What a great album.

Brittni is remarkable – Of the many ‘ukulele players I have had the privilege of listening to, she is one of my utmost favorites. She prides herself on giving her 110 percent each time, and what strikes me the most about her is that she is very humble…One cannot help but be awed by the “whole package.” What a gem!

Brittni is an awesome talent.

So much music from one of one of the world’s smallest instruments!
Brittni artistry has inspired me with my own Ukulele studies.
Look “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and you will find Brittni and her Ukulele.

Within the multitudes of musicians there is always one that stands out from the others. Brittni is one those. I am looking forward to seeing her perform live. She is definitely one to watch.

brittni is the best!!!

I had the priviledge of listening to Brittni in Victoria, BC Canada when she was part of a travel agent presentation promoting the Big Island.
WOW.
I am still kicking myself for not buying a CD. She is amazing, and her personality is a close second to her music. What a delightful repetoire!
Brittni, I wish you continued success. Come back again!!!

Her ‘ukulele strings are directly connected to her heart strings. She takes me to a special place.

I have watched Brittni play every summer in Hilo at our annual luau – she is hands down one of the most awesome performers I have ever seen. I have never heard anyone play this instrument the way she does, many times you would swear it is NOT a ukulele! Her prowess at this instrument is amazing given her youth. Not to be missed!
November 3rd, 2009 at 10:48
Such a joy to watch your development, Brittni, and to listen to this latest CD inspires ever greater interest in this magical instrument.

Amazingly talented young woman, I anxiously await getting my copy of Four Strings: The Fire Within. I hope that someday she extends her tour of Canada to include SW Ontario, in the meantime I will continue to enjoy her music via iTunes and youtube. Thanks Brittni, you’re the best!

I saw Brittni perform in Hilo–her versatility and skill are amazing–she can play anything and make that uke sound like an orchestra–plus, she is so open and sweet and unassuming–not a diva, but a real deep artist.

Brittni’s new CD, “FOUR STRINGS: The Fire Within” is first rate, showing amazing development in concept and performance. Being a uke player myself, I recognize a budding virtuoso in Brittni. I can hardly stop listening to this CD.

Brittni has proven year after year at such a young age that music comes from the heart and being born with such gifted talent that it needs to be shared with the world so we all can come together and enjoy one thing in common – “Music”. She is not only a very talented artist but also an ambassodor of young musicians all over the world. We need more role models like her for our kids of today.

Brittni is a young female uke player who has talent beyond her years. She is unique with a style all her own. I’ve tried to play along with her CD’s – she’s a lady with incredibly skilled fingers that can play anything & everything. I have 3 of her CD’s – can’t wait to hear her latest one.
November 3rd, 2009 at 20:13
Brittni is an awesome talent. Her unique renditions of music ranging from Kadosh, to classical, to Hawaiian, to her latest album are inspired. It is a joy to listen to her. I only wish she would tour on the U.S. East Coast so we too could see her perform live and in person.

Brittni gets better all the time. This latest CD is my favorite.

It’s a pleasure watching Brittni’s talent mature. We anticipate each new project knowing it’ll be awesome before we hear it. She doesn’t disappoint us.

I first learned about Brittni by searching the internet for recordings of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. When I listened to her recording on youtube I fell in love with her musical style. I since found her website and purchased one of her cd’s entitled “Brittni”. Will definitely get another. Thank you for your music!
November 5th, 2009 at 05:43
Awesome recording. Grammy contender for sure.
November 5th, 2009 at 14:04
I found Brittni when I was living on Oahu…What wonderful talent!!! Can’t wait to get the new album!!! Keep up the great music. I now live in NW Florida, sure do miss the Islands but listening to Brittni makes it all better!!!
November 5th, 2009 at 15:20
If you see Brittni perform in public, you will instantly recognize what an inspiration she is to other young people who play the uke or who want to learn. She is a magnificent example of “what is possible” when a person has passion and determination.
November 5th, 2009 at 16:54
Brittni has emerged as a major player in the ukulele world. She can really put the uke through its paces! Great skill, poise and maturity.
November 6th, 2009 at 18:23
clean, cool, precise, and entertaining – its just amazing what clear-cut talent can do with the ukulele.
November 7th, 2009 at 16:39
Amazing talent. Our vote goes to Brittni.

Brittni not only can make those strings sing but she is a very talented writer and a great teacher who is willing to share with all who ask! Looking forward to more and more of her music!!!!
