Nathaniel "Nat" Ho (Chinese: 鹤天赐; pinyin: Hè Tiāncì, born 23 August 1984) is a Singaporean actor and singer.
Ho was originally one of the Top 30 contestants in the inaugural season of Singapore Idol in 2004. He was also awarded the ‘Most Promising Artiste’ in 2004, by the Singapore Armed Forces Music and Drama Company. One of his first acting roles was in the Channel 5 drama Shooting Star. Following that, Nat was given the lead role in a local feature film, Smell of Rain.
While pursuing his diploma in Mass Communications, Ho dabbled in modeling after he was discovered by a modeling agent. His portfolio included clients like M1, Lipton Tea, KFC, Marina Square Shopping Centre and Tiger Balm.
He also did freelance work as a backup dancer for a few commercial jobs, which included Indian International Film Academy Awards'04 and Miss Singapore Universe'06 to name a few. During his modelling period, he also did freelance acting, and landed his first ever acting gig, in the independent Mandarin feature film, Smell of Rain (雨之味).
The following year, he was signed on with MediaCorp and cast in his first Chinese language drama series Honour and Passion which earned him a Best Newcomer nomination at that Star Awards 2007.
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 released his first album Unleashed in April 2012 and an accompanying music video featuring actresses Dawn Yeoh and Le Yao and blogger Xiaxue.
In 2013, Ho announced that he would be moving to Taiwan to further his music career, after signing a nine-year music contract.
