Hear the Hua Wei jingle here, which features The Voice Singapore contestants..and vocals produced by me! It was so fun to get to know each of the contestants’ unique vocal tone and singing style, assign them lines and create harmony lines etc. So happy for the opportunity 🙂 (L-R: Daniel, Minghua, Isaac, Meiqi, Alfred, Cherelle, me at Sonic Studio […]
It was such a delight to produce these songs for a very talented songwriter and singer EE. I love her songs, which showcased her ability to compose in different styles. And she wrote all the lyrics by herself too! The songs were composed according to the storyline for this docu-drama, and boy, how I cried […]
Thank you MyPaper for the wonderful interview write-up!
Who would have imagined me releasing a piano instrumental album? Not even me. Until Chester Tan broached the idea …and I was hooked. I love to compose songs, but in my windows of creations, not every song comes out a radio-friendly sing-able pop/jazz song. Some songs are meant to be without words. The Piano Spa […]
Budweiser Made For Music 2014 must have been a great thrill for many singers and bands in Singapore, esp with the solo and band categories this year, more people get to walk away with prizes. It’s interesting to note that soloists can compete with originals or cover songs; each has its own merit, and I’m […]
The NEA has been organising one of the biggest nationwide songwriting competitions, the Eco Music Challenge, for the past few years. As part of the judging panel for 2014, I was excited to hear the final entries. And they did not fail, in fact the panel (Jack Ho, Clement Chow, Danny Loong and I) had […]
I honestly thought that I’d be taking a breather this year after《我认识过的人》’The People I’ve Known’ was released last year. I couldn’t be more wrong. Things are stacking up for my record label The Storyteller Waves. I’m happy that we’re telling more and more stories through original songs! The first thing to come my way was […]
Yes I was from Hwa Chong JC. It was a brief 2 year for me but I learnt many things non-academic. For a start, I joined PA/AVA wanting to learn more about things behind the stage (or on-stage, before the show). Ironically, PA/AVA was also the one who organised the annual Talentime. As a member […]
What a concert! I’m really not into concerts which feature the artistes showcasing different outfits, or … the troops of dancers making the musical thumps visually more enhancing (I love dances, but I love concerts for the music itself). Eric Clapton was totally engrossed in his music, in fact, he only said “Good evening” and […]
I am blessed to have 3 awesome performances to close December 2013 off. The first got me really excited, because as a francophone, it is an honour to perform for Air France-KLM! It was a cosy and intimate closed-door event set at elegant Flutes at National Museum. Hope I get the chance to do it […]
I didn’t win the award, but I’m already over the moon! Contesting in this category were veteran lyricists 陈家明，小寒, and singer-songwriter 龚芝怡 (Serene Koong). When I was interviewed by Y.E.S.933 at the roadshow, my reply was: I am really honoured that《我認識過的人》(The People I’ve Known) was nominated…. and… I didn’t realise that my Mandarin is soooo good. […]
It’s such an honour to be involved with Miss World. I remember watching the pageant on TV when I was much younger… and yes, dreaming about being onstage. But of course, I knew that I would never have the guts to go for beauty contests. Plus, I’m certainly not as quick-thinking as these girls when […]
I’ve been invited to be one of the coaches for this songwriting series, and I was little apprehensive of how I could assist these passionate budding songwriters…. after all it’s the first time this series of workshop is run; and my partner-coach in crime was Kevin Mathews! Just a side note – Kevin Mathews, if […]
I’ve been doing quite many charity events this year…and though my schedule is really tight this year (cos I’m slogging it out for the indie album’s production), I find it very hard to say “no” to charity events. I’m so blessed, how can I not give? This is for “Run for Hope“, an annual charity […]
So what’s up? I’ve been so busy preparing for my new album and for performances that time just zoomed by … so fast! Can you believe that it’s now Aug? :/ Before I burn myself out, i decided to take a lil time out to blog, a cathartic activity I should try to do more […]
