Thu Ho

"....you shouldn't miss her vibrant vocals, shimmering like the optical illusions above a sun-baked sidewalk"

    — Jeff Kaliss, Music and Entertainment Writer & Author

"A lovely but difficult song. Thu NAILED it, displaying great range and control."

    — Ben Fong-Torres, Rock Journalist, Author, and Broadcaster (Rolling Stone & SF Chronicle)

Having trained in Jazz, Broadway, Classical, and R&B music, Thu's voice is imbued with a unique blend of power, clarity, richness, depth, and warmth. She has performed in private events and at various Bay Area and southern California venues, including NAMM at the Anaheim Convention Center, the House of Blues, the Golden Gate Park Bandshell, Humphreys Backstage Live, the historic Sir Francis Drake Hotel, Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, Black Cat, Geoffrey's Inner Circle, and the 35,000-square-foot SFJAZZ Center, the first stand-alone structure in the country built specifically for jazz performance.  Thu has worked with ensembles led by the great Victor Wooten and the Wooten Brothers, internationally acclaimed saxophonist & composer Joe Lovano, legendary drummer Akira Tana, the Diablo Jazz Company, Yancie Taylor, Rolling Stones journalist Ben-Fong Torres, master horn player Noel Jewkes, and San Francisco’s premiere modern jazz ensemble - Jazz Mafia. She has been the featured vocalist for SFJAZZ Monday Night Band and performed in the grand SFJAZZ Miner Auditorium from 2017-2020.

Highly regarded Bay Area and international performers & instructors, including Rebeca Mauleon, Raz Kennedy, Dena DeRose, Cecilia Engelhart, and Madeline Eastman, have nurtured Thu's skill in jazz theory and performance. She received voice training under the private tutelage of Mr. Merrill Shea, who was on faculty at the Boston Conservatory of Music/Berklee College of Music.
