The Pacific Institute was founded in Seattle in 1971, by Lou and Diane Tice.

The Institute now works in over 50 countries, consulting with clients to deliver high performance and cultural transformation in organisations, local and central government, health, criminal justice, community regeneration and education systems, with a proven track record of success.

Pacific Institute (Europe) approached Kahua to provide music to accompany a new programme they were launching aimed at teenagers.  This involved advising on copyright and publishing issues, pre-sourcing commercially available music to drive the creative process and ultimately working with Kahua's publishing division to create two bespoke pieces of music which are used by Pacific Institute when delivering the programme.
