Kala Ambassadors
The ukulele is the ultimate musical equalizer, crossing all borders and cultures with a shared love for learning, teaching, and telling stories. Beyond the stage and the studio, our global ukulele community today is filled with people from a variety of backgrounds finding new and creative methods to bring the instrument into our everyday lives.
The individuals below have each found their own unique way to grow and better their community -- be it local or online -- through their Kala Ukulele. Be they teachers, builders, photographers, activists, or athletes, each and every one is a creator we couldn’t be more proud to call a Kala Ambassador!
