Daniel?s musical inclinations were apparent at an early age.

By 1997, Kilauea had released six chart-topping albums, two of which hit the Top 10 on Billboard?s jazz charts.

In 1998, he launched Daniel Ho Creations. Slowly, the releases grew into collaborative projects that featured himeni (Hawaiian hymns), hula, ?ukulele, and slack key guitar. To date, Daniel Ho Creations has released over fifty acoustic and Hawaiian-themed CDs by many of Hawai?i?s most respected artists, who are first and foremost friends. Daniel has received numerous Hawaiian music industry accolades including three Na Hoku Hanohano awards and twelve Hawai?i Music Awards.
