Jiujian at Singapore Art Museum!

It was a very fruitful Saturday for me last week. After judging for Kovan Superstar, we got to rush over to the Singapore Art Museum for Jiujian's mini concert.

Jiujian brought over some friends of his who are no strangers to us. They include project superstar Dawn and Chanel, Tao Zhe's backup vocalist Kewei, local artist Joanna Dong, Ric from Dream Fm, Huang Bi Yan, Meixin and others....We had some catchup moments with Kewei as it has been a while since we last saw her at a friend's wedding. She is now working on her upcoming EP, we wish her the best of luck!

Jiujian rushed over from a press conference which ended at 5pm. He is very busy with producing a single which is recorded with 40 over local celebrities for a good cause - to raise funds for the Sichuan Earthquake victims. The single will be on sale very soon in all Sembawang Music Stores. Please do your part in this charity event.

The concert was filled with a hundred over wonderful audiences. Jiujian was very witty and charming as a performer. Our guitar instructor Jacob did a great job too. Watch out for their performances to be upload to youtube very soon!







Jiujian was actually very tired as he was tied up with many things at the same time, but he did not show a single sign of his fatigue on stage. Frankly speaking, Jiujian is one of the most sincere person I have met in my life. I can't wait for our future collaboration for his concert....=)

Kovan Superstar 2008!

Kovan Superstar is a singing competition co-organized by Echo Music and the Xtreme Youth Zone Inc. The audition kicked off on the 24th May attracting over 60 applications. The judges were vocal instructor Meijin from the Singapore Bible College, Campus Superstar runner up Benjamin and myself.

The standard of the competition was much higher than I expected. I feel youngsters nowadays can really sing...which is great! There are certainly some who are more outstanding than others. But we will not know the final outcome until the final which is on the 21st June.

Echo Music had some students taking part as well. It is an experience I wish them to have more than anything else. I wish to congratulate Neo, Fiona and Liling who had made it through the finals. Jiayou ya....

As I am one of the judge, so there are only limited pics which I can take on my side. So...these are some of them...

It was definitely a chance of my 20plus plus plus (haa) years "lifetime", to play in a concert and to work with experience musicians. Thanks to Jiu Jian, for inviting Echo Music to work with him for his concert to mark his 20 years in the music scene!

Latest news, is that Jiu Jian decided to donate the tickets sales of his 2nd day concert to help the earthquake victims in Sichuan. =)
Do support the show!
