Auli‘i Cravalho

Actress

An actor and singer, Cravalho was only 14 years old when she was discovered and cast as the lead in Walt Disney Animation Studios’ worldwide hit film, the Academy Award-nominated “Moana.” Now 20, Cravalho has traveled the world promoting “Moana” and, in what would be a career highlight for the most seasoned of performers, flawlessly sang the Oscar-nominated song “How Far I’ll Go” live on the Academy Awards. She recently starred as Ariel in ABC’s acclaimed television production of “The Little Mermaid Live” and led Netflix’s feature film “All Together Now” directed by Brett Haley. Next, Cravalho will be seen in Amazon’s upcoming drama series “The Power” opposite Leslie Mann.
