Josie Ho

Born 1974-12-26 in Hong Kong, British Crown Colony [now China]

Josephine "Josie" Ho Chiu-Yee (Chinese: 何超儀)) has gone against the grain to score success in two different cultural fields. The actor and singer - eighth child of Stanley Ho, the legendary Macau gambling tycoon - had to fight her father to pursue her dream of making a career in music, Ho started off as a pop musician before switching to indie rock, a style that she found expressed her personality and musical preferences far better. She has starred in numerous films in a career stretching back to 1994, making her breakthrough in 1999 action film Purple Storm, and making perhaps her biggest impression with 2004 romantic drama Butterfly. Ho also has a strong entrepreneurial streak, and has set up her own music label - Drill Team 162, and film company - 852 Films, which she founded in 2017 with her husband, fellow actor Conroy Chan Chi-Chung.
