Nicole Scherzinger’s Hawaiian Roots and Role as Sina in Disney’s Moana

Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to parents of native Hawaiian and Filipino descent, it was announced in July 2015 that she would join the voice cast of the 2016 American 3D computer-animated musical adventure film Moana, produced by Walt Disney Animation.

Voicing Sina—Moana’s mother and the village chieftainess—Nicole Scherzinger brought her Hawaiian heritage to the Disney hit. She also reprised the role in the film’s Hawaiian-language version, released the same year.

At the time of production’s wrap in October 2016, Scherzinger was 38, and Moana debuted in U.S. theaters the following month.

“I didn’t want to be a part of the project—I felt I had to,” she explained while promoting the film, noting her Polynesian roots. “It’s the story of our people, and I’m so proud Disney stayed true to our culture and told such a beautiful story.”
