Wang Lee hom

Hey guys! This is Net here :) Thanks to Bianca for an awesome start to the blog! Sorry for not having written earlier - I was just tired, lazy etc. lol But I have just a bit of time to spare this afternoon, so I thought it'd be great to post something!

As promised, here's some more info and pics about Wang Lee Hom.

Wang LeeHom is of Chinese Ancestry, but an American born singer and songwriter. He's a graduate of music, so you know that the process of composing is meticulous, and you can tell by how "put-together" (hmm. is that even a word?) his songs are. Like I've mentioned in the show last night, he's known for incorporating traditional elements to his modern R&B, pop/ hip hop style. Which I think is really thoughtful, because it shows how much appreciation he shows for his own heritage and spreading it to the newer generations. (Ding! Points awarded here)

And, his voice is soft, mellow and he IS very cute (Ding! Extra points awarded here lol)Did I mention that he's multi-talented? He plays more than 10 instruments - traditional and modern e.g. violin, flute, Chinese Violin, piano, drums, harmonica etc. etc.

His 2007 Album called "Change Me" was based on hoping to send along the message to young generations to help with climate change/ global warming through music! (Ding!!! More points awarded here)

Word has it that he's in the process of starring in a movie called "Lian Ai Tong Gao", and he's also the director for the said movie! So stay tuned for that. I don't know when they'll be releasing it though.

Anyhow - here's the music video for the song called "Huo Tian Cuo" or "Flower Field Mistake" that we featured last night.




Here's another video called "Everything" it made me cry T___T



Sorry I couldn't find a youtube version with lyrics in English / translation.. But, I searched the internet lol and here's a snippet of what the song means (Mandarin--> English); I'm posting just the bit from the chorus:

"Even if others say that we don't have a future,
It is impossible for me to give up so easily.

'Cause you're my everything,
The one and only reason,
Allowing me to face this world bravely.
I Want to give you everything,
No matter how many tomorrows it takes.
Forever will start from this moment.
Your love is my everything."
