Who Is The Best Singer/Ukulele Player?

[itsme]

Posting in a legendary thread so I can come back and check out all the recommendations.

One I don't think I've seen mentioned yet is Uni & Her Ukelele (yes, she spells it that way) who plays a sort of kitschy 80's style pop. I really like her On My Way. That's a total production number, but she does a lot of live solo stuff.

Hey, neat... when I went to youtube to get a link for that vid, MGM popped up as one of the top google ads.

I don't think anyone is.. the best at it. But! there are tons of good players out there. Aldrine, Jake, Dominator, Guting, UKISOCIETY apparently and many more. I haven't really seen a bad 'ukulele player aha

Nice uke player....beautiful singer and extra points for:
1.Being very pretty (Which is a rarety in the uke world!!!)
2.Writing her own songs...which are actually good (a rarety in the "good uke player" world)

AND she has amazingly perfect hair.

Umm....
I love this thread. I just found so many talented UUers that my computer might explode. So much uke to watch and so little time!

Imua Garza from opihi pickers is good

+1. Out of all the contemporary reggae band 'ukulele players Imua is definitely the best. He really breaks things up and plays melodically.

No idea if she's any good or not (uke-n00bness, I'm afraid), but I absolutely love the noise tUnE-yArDs makes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R004IiEFrB4

shanifawni - Her songs/covers inspire revelations for me.
uketreehugger - Had her open for me in Ames, IA. I got to see her sing, play AND hula hoop at the same time. Amazing.
Peyrson - She is French, adorable, and sings like a bird.
Danielle Ate The Sandwich - Got to open for her here in Omaha. She has so much control over her voice, it's CRAZY.
