详细介绍
Daniel Ho is a musician (guitar, 'ukulele, piano), songwriter and producer currently specializing in Hawaiian music.
Born in Kaimuki on Oahu, he attended the Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, where he studied composition before returning home to attend the University of Hawaii.[1] After graduation, Daniel returned to Los Angeles and formed a critically-acclaimed smooth jazz group named Kilauea.[2]
In the late 90s, Daniel started his own record company, Daniel Ho Creations (DHC), and recorded one of his first Hawaiian music albums with slack-key guitarist George Kahumoku, Jr..[3] He has since recorded 18 solo albums, produced over 50 albums, served as a guest lecturer at Stanford University, performed as a soloist with the Honolulu Symphony, and received three of the first four Grammy Awards for best Hawaiian music album as a producer.[2] He won a fourth Grammy Award for best Hawaiian music album in 2009, his first as an artist rather than as the producer of a compilation album, teaming up with Tia Carrere for the album 'Ikena. The DHC label has received several Na Hoku Award nominations, including the 2009 release Aloha Pumehana by Darlene Ahuna [4].
In 2008 he appeared in and recorded several tracks for the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall, under the pseudonym The Coconutz. He sang on two tracks that are remakes of 20th century pop hits, translated into Hawaiian. They are "Nothing Compares 2 U", and "Everybody Hurts".
