Hoku is the daughter of the late great Hawaiian music legend, Don Ho. She was born June 10th of 1981--the seventh of ten children--and raised in Hawaii on the slopes of Diamond Head. She spent her early years on her father’s stage in Waikiki where she discovered her love for music and performing. Led by her father’s expert hand, Hoku soon grew to be an accomplished performer and singer, and a local Hawaiian star.
Her self-titled debut album was released on Interscope Records in 2000. Riding the wave of blond-pop success in the days of Britney and Christina’s rise to super stardom, Hoku struggled to find a comfortable niche in the grind of the pop-music machine. She found success with hit songs like "Another Dumb Blonde", "The Burrito Song", and "Perfect Day", but ultimately chose to part ways with her label due to conflicting views of the future of her marketing and imaging.
In the years to follow, Hoku spent her time honing her craft, sharpening her skills as a songwriter and producer, and finding a voice of her own. Her new material is self written and self financed through her own label, Ola Vista Records. A little older, a little wiser, and armed with a clear vision for the next chapter of her life in music, Hoku is ready to make her way back into your hearts and onto your iPods.
The Rockers are offering Land of the Free as a free download during the Independence Day weekend as a gesture of support for the men and women of the United States Armed Forces and their families. We are releasing the song ahead of schedule to support our American heroes. God bless the USA!

Dear Hoku, Thank you so much for the friend add. You have no idea how much your music touched my soul when I discovered you, so many years ago. And then it seemed that you dropped off the face of the planet.At first, I feared that something bad happened to you but in my prayers I found a peace that told in fact something wonderful had happened. You got married and became a mother.Im so glad that you didnt give up on your career. You have seen me through alot of personal difficulties with your music and I love it dearly. You look fantastic...motherhood seems to agree with you. Im very sorry for the loss of your father. I lost my mother when I was six and my father just four days before I graduated high school, so I do know how you feel. I look forward to all of your upcomming work and it would be awesome if every once in a while you could release a video so we can see you as well as hear you. Your friend, George Frederick
Listen Up is very soulful I'm impressed. Do you have any songs that sound Hawaiian? I fell in love with that genre when I visited Hawaii in 2002. While I couldn't understand the words I still felt like I could understand the message. I look forward to hearing your acoustic songs.
Watch my new video, an original song called "Follow Me (Revolution)", @ http://bit.ly/10xFXI. Then, please share. Read my blog http://blogs.myspace.com/ldtaylor to find out why! Thanks so much!
