Hoku Ho Clements (born Hoku Christian Ho, June 10, 1981), known mononymously as Hoku, is an American singer. She is best known for her 2000 hit single "Another Dumb Blonde".
Hoku, which means "star" in Hawaiian, was born on June 10, 1981 in Oahu, Hawaii. She is the seventh of singer Don Ho's ten children, and the older of two born to Ho and Patricia Swallie Choy, a background singer who once sang with Ho in his performances. She grew up in the affluent Diamond Head neighborhood with Choy, sister Kaimana, Elizabeth Guevara (who also had two children by Ho), and half-sisters Kea and KeaLii. "We spent a lot of time trying to make it okay for the children, but I knew I had to get out of it," recalled Choy, who left Ho in 1997 after tiring of the living arrangement, taking Hoku and Kaimana with her.
Hoku frequently performed with her father, who taught her how to write songs, as a child. She was initially unaware of her father's fame, learning from people's reactions after realizing who her father was. "I thought everyone's parents had shows at night," she said. She graduated from La Pietra.
Hoku is the eponymous debut album from the artist of the same name, released on April 18, 2000. The album peaked at #151 on the Billboard 200 and spawned 2 hit singles: "Another Dumb Blonde" and "How Do I Feel (The Burrito Song)".
If you belonged to me
Nothing else would matter
I'd give you the moon and the stars
On a silver platter
Kiss you the way you should be kissed
And show you the kind of
love that you missed
So hear me
Sweet baby
My heart won't lie
Chorus:
What you need is what you get
If you come to me
I'll give you love you won't regret
I'll set you free
If you believe like I believe
Boy, you know it's true
Everythng you need, I'll give to you
You've been alone too long
Baby, let me help you
Show you where your heart belongs
You know I'd love to
Give you one thousand reasons to stay
Be the light in my window
If you lose your way

So don't fear
Baby, I'm right here
I'll never leave
Chorus:
What you need is what you get
If you come to me
I'll give you love you won't regret
I'll set you free
If you believe like I believe
Boy, you know it's true
Everything you need, I'll give to you
This is a promise you can keep
Just bring your broken heart to me
Baby, you know I'll always be
The one you've waited for
The girl you've dreamed of
Just let me in and you'll see
What you need is what you get
If you come to me
I'll give you love you won't regret
I'll set you free
If you believe like I believe
Boy, you know it's true
Everything you need, I'll give to you
What you need is what you get
If you come to me
I'll give you love you won't regret
I'll set you free
If you believe like I believe
Boy, you know it's true
