Pomai Brown, a native of Honolulu, Hawaii, was born on January 5, 1961, to Wilfred Ku'ualoha Brown and Amy Kaelehiwa Keko'olani. As a proud individual of Hawaiian descent, with Keko'olani of Waipi'o roots, he embarked on his educational journey by attending and graduating from The Kamehameha Schools at Kapalama.
During his formative years, Pomai nurtured his musical talents, commencing his professional career at the tender age of 12 by playing the ukulele with Ka Hale Hula O Keko'olani. He further honed his skills by participating in Band, Orchestra, and Concert Glee at Kamehameha. In 1994, he had the opportunity to study the Hawaiian Steel Guitar under the guidance of world-renowned steel guitarist Jerry Byrd, and subsequently, he traveled to Japan with Jerry for a concert performance.
Pomai's academic pursuits led him to earn a Magna Cum Laude degree in business from Hawaii Pacific College, which he leveraged to propel his career in the entertainment industry. He has utilized his business acumen to promote and advance his career, successfully navigating the competitive landscape of the entertainment industry.
Throughout his journey, Pomai has continued to expand his skillset, studying the "energy" of acting under the tutelage of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, method acting from Scott Rogers, and improvisation from Roger Wilko. His breakthrough acting role as Nick, the chef, in the 2004 film 50 First Dates was made possible by comedian Adam Sandler and Director Peter Segal. Casting Director Roger Mussenden discovered Pomai's talent while watching him play the ukulele on the TV series Episode #3.1 in 2003 and subsequently invited him to submit an audition tape.
Today, Pomai and his wife Toni head their own production company, Pomai Entertainment, which specializes in producing Island contemporary music, T.V. productions, and live Polynesian show productions for select clientele.
