  • OZEKY is the name everyone knows me by . I am just an ordinary island boy , struggling and trying to live life to its fullest here on Hawaii to support and provide for my small family.
    I was born in chuuk and was relocated to Guam for better education in 1990’s . From Guam to Seattle and Seattle to Honolulu.
    With an undeniable passion for music I started playing keyboard at a young age . Growing up Music was always my run to hobby. I play for my Elementary school choir, for churches & lastly for fun.
    I started releasing albums year after year until it finally captured the whole FSM ears .
    Music has been an Integral part of my life , that whenever I don’t find the time or the opportunity to create beats, make music , I don’t feel whole , as if something is missing until I come home from work , sit down by my keyboard and relax myself with some sweet melody.
    I am now busy with Other projects through work which I do catering and partnered with Da Spot Health and Juices servicing the whole Local community here in Hawaii. I am also involved with the Chuukese community ( Micronesian ) to better educate our young youth.
    “Notable past performance gave me the courage to sway by the wave of what TODAY brings, for I know yesterday is past and tomorrow never comes” - Ozeky

    In my culture on our island, Satawal, the most important to pass on to your kids and other family members are: canoe building, fishing, cooking, farming, navigation, medicine, weather forecasting, respect, self defense, knowing your maternal and paternal relationship, clan lineage, and house building. In fact all of the things mentioned were already included in the school curriculum.

      True, I believe that Satawal Island knows allot more than other Micronesians. Back in years ago, Chief Agharubw was the one who went out with his man to look for and Island to live in. He found Saipan and ask the Spanish who was in Guam which they handle the Guaminians. And Hawaiian, please look it up who was the one who sail to your Island, back in 1990S. I wouldn't talk to a young man about their medicine cultures. Lol. But he did good to find a way to help his business. $$$$$$

    Aloha to you both. I would like to add on to the three things He says are important to us. These are the following Religion, Respect, Peace, Love, languages, dances and musics are important to us. :) These are part of our everyday lives back home. We grew up with these things similar to the Hawaiian Culture. :) And also our local food sea food, bread fruits, bananas, taro. :)
    And so yes let’s talk more about what is Micronesia. So, Micronesia means small or tiny islands country in the western Pacific Ocean. The name Micronesia was given/ proposed to distinguish the region in 1831 by Jules Dumont. Jules Sébastien César Dumont d'Urville was a French explorer and naval officer who explored the south and western Pacific, Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica. As a botanist and cartographer, he gave his name to several seaweeds, plants and shrubs, and places such as d'Urville Island in New Zealand.
    Back to the main topic Micronesia. :) Micronesia is composed of more than 600 plus islands in the Caroline Islands and is divided roughly along cultural and linguistic lines into the states from west to east Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae.
    1. Yap State is actually made up of four separate islands: Yap Proper (Marbaaq), Gagil-Tamil, Maap (Yapese: Maap′), and Rumung. The four islands are separated by relatively narrow water features, and the islands are surrounded by a common coral reef.
    2. Chuuk State is comprised of the collection of volcanic islands within the Chuuk Lagoon and some 24 outer-island atolls --some 290 islands total.
    3. Pohnpei State incorporates Pohnpei Main Island, a large volcanic island with eight atolls totaling 344 square miles, 25 smaller islands with in a barrier reef, and 137 widely scattered coral atolls. Pohnpei is one of the four states of Micronesia and is the capital of Federated States Micronesia.
    4. The State of Kosrae includes the main island of Kosrae and a few nearby islands and islets, the most significant of which (Lelu Island) is inhabited by 1,500 people.
    Mahalo to you both. 🤝❤️🙏

    Men roles in Society is pretty simple. Fish, farm & give the women & her family kids.
    Women on the other hand play a more important part. They pass on the clan name, land & house.
    They are peace keepers & decision makers. A chief cannot make any decision without a female relative.
    There is a saying we go by “you are not a man if u do not have a sister”

    Just to share and add on how FSM or Micronesians are the same and at the same time different... TOP Importance on my part of Micronesia 1. Expressions of Language (RESPECT of Culture-tiahk in Pohnpei & Fwacsin in Kosrae) 2. Family (Everyone are Included and Family comes first. You are never just you...you are part of) and 3. Trade (As Micronesian from Kosrae and from Pohnpei, I am expected to understand my role, know how to act in cultural settings, and appreciate to learn family trades because each family have their own trade ( the canoe builders, the fishermans, the fafa pounders, the weavers, etc.) JFYI ...in Micronesia Pohnpei and Kosrae, the male and elders are the leaders of the family so there are treatment of authority respect . Saying this does not degrade women's importance. However even if the Micronesian women don't VOICE out. The Micronesian women's roles has depth of RESPECT in the family and community! my one cent to Micronesian Culture
