Hoku(I)
- Actress
- Soundtrack
Hoku (she dropped her last name after relocating to Los Angeles to
record the album) has been singing ever since she can remember, often
appearing with her father. She was only 11 when he gave her a solo
turn, belting out Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You". The song
immediately became a crowd-pleasing show-stopper. She's the only one of
Don Ho's offspring to join him in show business. Yet, it wasn't until
she had already begun her freshman year in college in San Diego,
studying business at Point Loma Nazarene University, that she was
finally signed, launching the career she always felt she would have. A
devout Christian, she admits "it's not very comfortable for me to be a
sex symbol. That's why I enjoy being involved with the younger kids,
because they relate to me just being the girl next door".
