Katherine Ho from The Voice Season 10

Katherine Ho, thrice montaged on Season 10, has a catchy new pop song out called “405.” Says Katherine: “Named after the iconic LA freeway and inspired by a psychology class I took in college, ‘405’ is about the first time I fell in love and how that experience helped me find magic in the mundane. Attention is a limited resource, so when we’re stressed out or in a constant state of fight-or-flight, our brains often miss out on life’s beauty. But when we’re with the ones we love, that stress melts away, and even driving the most traffic-jammed highway can feel like a beautiful experience.” Oh, and Katherine’s cover of “Yellow” from the film “Crazy Rich Asians” has now been streamed 17 million times on Spotify alone!
