Yo!


Yo Yo Yo!

Evan Yo 蔡旻佑 (Cai Min You)... recently got really absorbed into his songs. that's why i decided to recommend his album here. He released his 1st album "19" last year, in October. Album titled "19" because he was 19 years old then (20 now... and he is only 4days younger than me).
Cos i haven been listening to radio for a long time, so sort of lost track with pop musics. all the way till CNY this year, saw a new year special programme, he was one of those performer, and suddenly thought that his songs are nice.
and i started listening to his entire album, it was very nice, from 1st track till the last. and is the kind that i ll like more as i listen to it more.

even more impressed after reading some biblio about him!
he started learning classical music at age of 5. he knows how to play violin (major), piano (minor), guitar, drum, and flute (envy envy~). he got into his university being 1st in violin and piano in the entrance exam. (double champion lo~~). his mum being a vocal teacher, taught him singing since young. more amazing, he composed all the 12 tracks in his album. he was producer for some of it also. (so talented~~)

you might think, how was he discovered. well, taiwan's local king Jacky Wu Zong Xian, found him when he was 14 years old. he sign contract with wu zong xian and waited for 5 yrs before releasing his ablum (long long wait). right now, he is SonyBMG 's 强打新人. in good hands i supposed, cos Sony bmg really knows how to publicise, promote and package new artists. letting the public knows him is definitely important for a 新人. no matter how talented, if nobody knows him, there ll be no success in the music industry.
He came to singapore to promote his album now (from tues till today), couldnt go and listen to him live because i am stucked in school. but ppl... look out for him. i believe he ll make it. he ll become famous lo... already a 新人王 in taiwan, he ll make his way to rest of asia.
Those who wanna listen to his album can visit these sites:
搜狗 - www.sogou.com and type in 蔡旻佑
typical love songs (very KTV style): 城外,我可以,我想要说,旋转门
his special style of rock and sci-fic: 梦不落帝国,超人不在家,8Bits,Can You Hear Me
轻快的: 翻不完的夏天,简单

Personally, i really ENVY of ppl who are talented. somehow, my parents did not let me learn anything when i am young. i really knows nothing. no talent at all!!! when i complained to them, they said that it was for my own good (not give me pressure and let me enjoy my childhood). they assume that i couldnt take care of myself, let alone learn stuff. moreover, learning music is very expensive (i din specify i wanna learn music lo). hmpf, not to the extend of pressurising, but exposure and let me learn something i like. really nothing. that s why often, i felt a sense of inferior when i see my peers who are sooo multi-talent.

Children are just like a piece of BIG BIG sponge. They can absorb alot, and learn alot. We shouldnt let this golden learning period be wasted. I always believe that exposing children to the world, and let them explore their interest. What learnt shall stay, no robber or theft can steal it away.
