I've danced hula since I was 5. My mom danced hula as well. It's been in my family from far back and really connected me to my ancestors.

My mom keeps me grounded and all that. She makes me do chores.

I credit my singing to my mom because she didn't give me a binky when I was a baby. I cried and screamed for the first six months - my mom would say four years of my life - and I developed wonderful lungs.

No matter where I go, I want to carry my family.

I think when everyone found out I was Moana, we got banana bread practically every night of the week. Aside from that, it's been really normal!

It's just been my mom and I for, like, three years or so. I love being able to not have to feel like I have to share the whole everything with the world, which is why I'm not very good at the Snap Chat, and I need help with my social media. Because I... I kind of just like having just us.
