Alton Chung grew up with the stories, superstitions, and magic of the Hawaiian Islands. This combined with his Japanese and Korean roots, gives him a unique perspective to tell cultural tales and personal stories with a deep sense of reverence and authenticity. Not only does he breathe life into traditional Asian folktales with sensitivity and deep connection, but he can also touch into the fire of ancient Hawaiian legends and tell them with passion and respect. Alton also enjoys telling true stories of the Japanese-Americans during WWII, but his true passion is telling ghost stories. In 2005, Alton was awarded the first J.J. Reneaux Emerging Artist Award by the National Storytelling Network and in 2006 participated in the First Annual National Story Night in Jonesborough, TN. He is also an apprentice to Eth-Noh-Tec in San Francisco.
