Don't really sound like them, but I love Sarah McLachlan, Dido, Nichole Nordeman, and Jaci Velasquez.

Singer/ Songwriter Hoi is a touch of Sarah McLachlan with a kiss of soul. She is on a mission to inspire and encourage with a pure voice, heart-felt lyrics, and catchy instrumental hooks. With every song self-penned, listeners are sure to catch a glimpse of her optimistic view of life. Her message is hope and that hope is embedded in each song.
It hasn't always been easy for Hoi, who has overcome many obstacles toget to where she is today. Raised as a Buddhist, Hoi found Christ at eleven years old. She faced relentless opposition as a result of her conversion, but she never gave up on pursuing what was important to her. Her passion for music even allowed her to overcome her fight with asthma. When asthma threatened her every breath in her teenage years, she was almost forced to give up her dream of singing. "Asthma has taught me to appreciate every breath I take and it is nothing short of a miracle that I do what I do today."
Convinced (2004), the album, is a collection of songs that penetrate the heart. "I'm not into writing "fluff" that just sounds good, but lacks depth. I'm not under any pressure to be someone I'm not, and my goal is to accomplish my mission. "For Hoi, being a recording artist is not a game of fame and numbers. "Success is not how much money I make, or how many people show up at my concerts. I experience the joy of success every time someone tells me a song I wrote has impacted them in some way. When my music ceases to make an impact on lives, I am going to stop writing and singing."
The new release, God is Good (2006), is about God's goodness in times of doubt and confusion, as well as in times of joy and happiness. Hoi has certainly experienced her share of ups and downs in her life, especially in the last two years as a full-time touring artist. Regardless of her circumstances, Hoi has learned the importance of praising God at all times. She sings, "God is good all the time, all the time, God is good."

Last night, I got a call from my best friend in Texas. She's a hairdresser. She sounded exhausted, so I asked if she was okay. It was now well past 9 o'clock, and she was now on her way home. She told me that the salon closed at 7 o'clock, but th...

I just came home from visiting someone. We Asians eat things many Americans wouldn't usually eat. So anyway, my mother always taught me to eat whatever is in front of me. In my culture, this is especially important when you're a guest at someone's...

When people meet me for the first time, the first question they have for me is often, "WHAT are you?" To that, I love to answer, "HUMAN." :) I personally, do not like to ask people what race they are. There is only one race, and that's the human r...

So happy to meet you here at Shoutlife!
I'm looking forward to getting to know you better as I learn more about you and your work.
When you get a minute, I hope you'll pop over to my Shoutlife profile and my web site to see what the good Lord has had me doing since He convinced me to trade my guitar and microphone for a computer.
I pray that He will shower you and those you love with abundant joy and amazing success!
Big warm hugs to you, my new Shoutlife friend!
Eyes on Him,
(1 Corinthians 10:13)

Hi Hoi! :) How are you, my awesomely gifted and anointed sister and friend?
Sorry to hear that there was no one online here to chat with you late last night. If I was up, I would have very much enjoyed chatting with you, and hopefully sometime we'll get to do that. These days, though, I've been keeping the time that I spend on the computer to a reasonable time, as I work on doing a better job of keeping a balance of things in my life. I do, of course, hope and pray that...someday, as our Lord wills...Maria and I will get to meet you and your family face to face, as well as hear your beautiful music in person.
When you get a chance, please do stop by Shoutlife Weather Watchers (the group that you're a co-moderator of...remember? LOL) and maybe post a report on the early-season storm that I heard impacted your part of CA within the past few days. Also, I did read your status report of the earthquake that affected your area...I trust and pray that you and your family and your home got through it OK.
May you have a most relaxing weekend! :) And, Hoi, may you never forget that you hold a very special place in the hearts of so many people...including, of course, yours truly here. :)
Much love always...Bob
