Moana Wolfgramm Feinga: Family Over Fame

Moana Wolfgramm was just 12 years old when she and The Jets released their debut album through MCA records—an album that would produce top 10 charting songs and ultimately go platinum. She and her siblings were truly living the dream as they traveled the world and performed on some of the world's biggest stages. But by the time Moana was 17, fame had taken a toll on her family and she felt as if they were already has-beens. As she tried to find herself again and the Wolfgramms had to decide if family was more important than money, Moana says one thing kept her grounded—her faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. "We had a big home and lots of cars and things but we weren't quite a family. And now we've swapped it and realized that if you put family first and you put the Lord first, then everything else kind of finds its place."
