Nathaniel Ho Wei Ci is a Singaporean actor, singer, songwriter and businessman.
Ho is of Hakka descent. He attended Anglo-Chinese School and Anglo-Chinese Junior College.
Ho was one of the top 30 contestants during the inaugural season of Singapore Idol in 2004. His first major acting role was in the Channel 5 drama Shooting Stars, which featured other Singapore Idol contestants.[citation needed]
The following year, Ho signed a contract with MediaCorp, and was cast in his first Chinese language drama series Honour and Passion which earned him a Best Newcomer nomination at the Star Awards 2007.[citation needed]
Ho left MediaCorp in 2010 to focus on his music career. He stated that music was his real passion and that he actually "never wanted to be an actor. [All this] came as a bonus". He self-released his debut album Unleashed in April 2012.
In 2013, Ho moved to Taiwan to further his music career, after signing a nine-year music contract. He subsequently returned to Singapore after his recording company disbanded.
In 2020, Ho moved to Los Angeles to study music production at Icon Collective, a private music school. He returned to Singapore in 2022.
In August 2022, Ho moved again to South Korea to further his music career. He also signed up for Korean language classes at Yonsei University as a full-time student.
He used to own bento stall Love Bento, franchised Taiwanese bubble tea stall Bobii Frutii and Thai cheese toast shop Say Chiizu.
He is currently running an online keto diet business, which was started in Singapore. He is also a partner in The Jock Shop, a local men's underwear store.
