When Joseph was 15, he and his cousin, Sam Nainoa left for a boarding school in <a href="/wiki/Honolulu" title="Honolulu">Honolulu</a>. In 1889 while attending the <a href="/wiki/Kamehameha_Schools" title="Kamehameha Schools">Kamehameha School for Boys</a>, Kekuku accidentally discovered the sound of the steel guitar. </p><p>In an article first seen in 1932, C.S. DeLano, publisher of the "Hawaiian Music In Los Angeles" whose "Hawaiian Love Song" was the first original composition to be written for the Hawaiian Steel Guitar said: </p> <blockquote> <p>'"Joseph told me that he was walking along a road in Honolulu forty-two years ago, holding an old Spanish guitar, when he saw a rusty bolt on the ground. As he picked it up, the bolt accidentally vibrated one of the strings and produced a new tone that was rather pleasing. After practicing for a time with the metal bolt, Joe experimented with the back of a pocket-knife, then with the back of a steel comb, and still later on with a highly-polished steel [bar] very similar to the sort that is used today."' </p> </blockquote> <p>In 1904 at the age of 30, Kekuku left Hawaii and would never return. He started in the United States by performing in <a href="/wiki/Vaudeville" title="Vaudeville">vaudeville theaters</a> from coast to coast. His group was "Kekuku's Hawaiian Quintet" and were sponsored by a management group called "The Affiliated."<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1919, Kekuku left the U.S. for an eight-year tour of Europe traveling with "The Bird of Paradise" show.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> "The Bird of Paradise" show started on Broadway, and was well-received in Europe.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Kekuku returned to America on board the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Lines" title="United States Lines">United States Lines</a> ocean liner <a href="/wiki/SS_Republic" title="SS Republic">SS Republic</a> in October 1926.
