Hōkū Christian Ho (born June 10, 1981), known simply as Hoku, is an American musician, singer-songwriter, and actress. The daughter of noted Hawaiian entertainer, the late Don Ho, her most popular singles are "Another Dumb Blonde", "How Do I Feel" and "Perfect Day."

Early life
Hoku, whose name means "star" in Hawaiian, was born on the island of Oʻahu in the state of Hawaiʻi, to Don Ho and Patti Swallie, who used to sing in his show, the seventh of Ho's ten children.1 This union produced one other daughter, Kaimana Grace.2 She is of European, Polynesian and Asian American ancestry: Chinese, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Dutch and German descent on her father's side and Hawaiian, Caucasian and Filipino American descent on her mother's side.
Hoku attended La Pietra: Hawaiʻi School for Girls in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi and briefly studied business at Point Loma Nazarene University3 in San Diego, California, but left during her first semester.
1999-2001
Hoku's debut single "Another Dumb Blonde", which was certified Gold, appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Snow Day and also on Total Request Live Top 10. This made her a teen icon. She later appeared on a Nickelodeon special with many other stars, such as Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Sean Combs, and Aaron Carter. She also performed as a top billing performer in all of the Radio Disney Live! 2001 World Tour concerts across the United States.
In 2000, she released her self-titled, debut album. In 2001 she recorded the song "Perfect Day", which was used as the theme song to the feature film Legally Blonde. This song was featured in both JCPenney and Sandals Resorts commercials.
Hoku soon parted ways with her label, Geffen Records, because she didn't want the image that the company created for her, which she felt went against her beliefs. Hoku decided to take a break from the music industry and was not heard from for five years.
2006-Present: New Album, New Look
Hoku now lives in Orange County, California, with her husband Jeremy Clements. She would often return to Hawaii and perform with her musician father, at his Don Ho Show at the Waikīkī Beachcomber Hotel in Honolulu, until his passing in 2007.
Her song "Perfect Day" gained recognition recently when J.C. Penney and Sandals Resorts used the song for a series of television advertisements. Soon after, rumors began to spread that Hoku was recording a second album.
With her husband, in 2006 Hoku formed Ola Vista Records, in independent record label and shortly thereafter released Listen Up, a 5-song EP to iTunes. Song titles include, "If You Don't Want My Love", "Saturday Morning", "All I Need", "Closer", and "Listen Up".
In a blog post to her MySpace profile in July 2008 4, Hoku stated that she had recorded many more songs than could be released on Listen Up and that additional tracks would be released on a future as-yet-untitled EP. As of January 2010, no further information has been released on her official sites.
Hoku was supposed to release the new single "About You Now" to radio and film a music video, and her album would be released shortly after. However, this has yet to happen. Her official site, HokuMusic.com remains with no news or updates.
