In 2007, Kekoa officially started the band called CitySide. As a trio, they gained popularity playing gigs at various venues around Hawaii. After several lineup changes and members leaving for college, Kekoa was determined to pursue a career in the music industry.
In 2008, Kekoa's father (and band manager) met Duane Oyama of Mass Appeal Productions who introduced them to Dr. Trey (Tracey Terada). It was Dr. Trey who recorded the band's debut album "Welcome To The CitySide". During the recording process, Tracey introduced the band to Solomon Makainai who then became CitySide's drummer.
One listen to CitySide and you will immediately hear radio friendly melodies and strong crisp vocals that have always been the foundation of the group.

Cityside's song "Come on Pretty Baby" expresses the intense feelings of a man for a woman he desires. The lyrics revolve around the singer's infatuation with the woman and how being in her presence affects him. The singer confesses that he wants to be with her and love her, although he may not show it at times. He also asks the girl to take a chance on him and trust him with her love.
The first verse of the song highlights the effect the woman has on the singer's mind. Her smile drives him wild, and every time he sees her, she runs through his head. Despite his love for her, he admits to feeling confused and unsure of how to express his love for her. The chorus "Come on pretty baby, take my hand, girl, I wanna be your man," emphasizes the singer's desire to be with the girl and the romantic intentions that he has towards her.
The bridge provides a musical interlude that sets a more energetic tone for the song, transitioning it from the sweet and romantic verses to the upbeat chorus. The bridge leads into the repeat of the verse and the chorus, emphasizing the singer's message. The sincere expression of love and the catchy chorus of "Come on pretty baby" makes this song a perfect love ballad.
