One day when he was 15 years old, Israel was sitting at a picnic table on Makaha Beach playing his ukulele when Jerry Koko stopped by to talk story. Jerry invited Israel over to his house to kanikapila (play music). He then met Moon Kauakahi and Jerry's brother, John Koko. Israel told the boys about his brother, Skippy, and how he could play guitar. After playing togther for awhile, the boys decided to start a group and the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau were born. First consisting of Israel, Skippy, Moon, Mel Amina (Israel's cousin) and Sam Grey, their first big break was being on the Jerry Lewis telethon.

Nobody" emphasizes the unique nature of God and the impossibility of finding anyone who can measure up to Him. The song also speaks to the confidence and security that come with having God on our side. If God is for us, no one can be against us. The lyrics also touch on the unbreakable, unconditional love of Jesus, and how nothing can separate us from that love. In the end, the song is a declaration of worship to God, proclaiming that there is no one like Him in heaven or on earth.
