Auli'i Cravalho ( ; born November 22, 2000) is an American actress and singer. She made her voice acting debut as the title character in the 2016 Disney film Moana.

Early life

Cravalho was born in Kohala, Hawaii.

At the time she made her breakthrough, she was living in Mililani, Hawaii with her mother, and was in her freshman year of high school at Kamehameha Schools' Kap?lama campus.

Career

Cravalho has stated that she was initially not going to audition for Moana because "there were already so many great submissions over YouTube". However, a talent agent from Oahu discovered her at a charity competition and encouraged her to audition for the role. The Walt Disney Company has stated that Cravalho was the last person to audition out of hundreds of actresses.
