How long have you been promoting?

Level H Promotions has been doing events since June 2005.


Why did you get into promoting?

Hanson - It was always a passion to host events and organize big things, it was my knack. I love being a host, I wanted everyone to leave with the mindset that it was racked up in the memory trophy shelf of "good times." Naturally, Promotions and I crossed paths and it was my way of utilizing my passion.

Justin - Prior to promoting nightclubs, I would do events out at Hawaii Raceway Park. With the import racing scene growing and becoming a larger part of the track scene the night life scene became more a part of my life. It's all promoting, just different events, meeting new interesting people at each event and of course it is more fun when you can enjoy a few drinks.. hahaha

Sam - I love to meet new people and see new faces in the club. I like to see people having a good time and try to help accomplish that at each event.




Where was your first promotion spot?

The O Lounge


Tell us a crazy story from one of your parties.

There are too many stories to tell... Here is a video of a recent event...




What do you guys do when you're not promoting?

Hanson - Working at the O Lounge, as a manager. Caring for my son.

Justin - Meeting new people, spending time with family and friends and living life. Racing and speed is also a large part of my life. Speed is my drug.

Sam - I run a Diesel Fuel System shop during the day and also enjoy stunting street bikes both exhibition and recreational.


What are your drinks of choice?

What ever your drinking.... That's what we drink...


Where do you guys see Hawaii's nightlife in 1 year?

No idea... Its constantly evolving... but Level H Promotions will be there!


Can you hook us up with all the beautiful girls at your parties?

Of course, that's what we do... we introduce... the rest is up to you... hahaha!

The showdown is on!!! All shots $4 all night at FOURCE!!

Any thing else you want to say? Shoutouts?

Hanson- Thank you to all that help me get started, showed me the ropes, those who partied with me when there was 50 people to a 1000 people. Promotions is not easy and is always an up and down battle. But thanks to all in the industry, we all have "good times..."

Justin - Thank you to everyone who has supported both myself and Level H Promotions as a whole. Each individual contributes to the party. My family for non-stop support and guidance.

Sam - Thank you to Justin and Hanson for bringing me into the game and allowing me to be part of such an awesome team. Also to everyone who comes out and wants to have a good time. Shots?
