Sun Rising - Asia's Pop Music Princess, Sun Ho, Prepares to Conquer America
By Allison Kugel - September 23, 2006

 

PR.com (Allison Kugel): I've been listening to your single, "Gone." I got the CD at your party, and I love it!

Sun Ho: Thank you. How do you feel about it compared to "Without Love?" Do you feel like it's better?

Sun Ho: (Laughs) Actually, no. I'm not a pastor, pastor. I'm a counselor. I work voluntarily in the church of an organization. I am very passionate in working with kids. So that is what I was doing. And actually how I was found by the record executive was I was in Taiwan counseling these people and usually I use music at the same time when I meet up with them because I really love singing. So he heard my singing and then he came to me and he thought that I could make it as a singer and asked me, was I interested? And everything else was history after that. So, I'm not, like, a preach
