昨晚參與陶喆 David Tao20週年派對的小演出。慶功宴後回家花了一點時間消化這個經歷 。
哇~原來已經與DT 合作了4-5年。第一次做正式的合音工作就是參與 ‘小人物狂想曲’ 的巡迴。最妙的是我學生時期並沒有聽非常多華文流行音樂,但因為很喜歡他的歌所以對他的作品算熟悉。那時候很感恩上帝讓我有機會接到這個工作讓我擴張我的境界、成長許多。
謝謝陶老大給我這些機會幫他唱(很複雜)的合聲。唱了蠻久,還好是好歌都唱不膩🤣。祝你生命會充滿神的介入、恩典和愛,激發你寫更多帶給人能量的作品。
Yesterday night was the 20th anniversary party of David Tao’s first album. We had a ball singing a few songs for the 1.5hour long event. There were videos of many celebrities and heartfelt handwritten cards from fans about how much his music had influenced them. So it got me thinking about my own experience of DT’s music.
I wasn’t an avid listener of Mando-pop when I was growing up. That changed close to the end secondary/high school. I wanted to fit in with my peers and to join in their conversations. So I borrowed lots of CDs and DVDS from my much more ‘Chinese’ cousins and binge listened to whatever I could. Whose music did I like and remember most? Stephanie Sun, David Tao, Michael and Victor, Jay Chou and Lee Hom.
So, I always thought it was providential that my first opportunity to work as a professional backing vocalist was with DT. It was a gig that was musically complicated enough to be constantly engaging/interesting, and it happened to be an artist that I listened to a lot in high school.
Fast forward to now and I’ve sung for a few more people, but have still continued to work regularly with DT. 5 years and counting? Listening to the live recordings of the shows now don’t make me cringe as much as I used to. Thankfully I’ve grown in vocal stability, expression and technique.
He’s had his ups and downs, as most people know. Being up close with an idol just shows you how human everyone is. Imperfect beings but all also bearing the image of God in some form. And with David, his intense musicality and passion has been a positive light for many. I pray that one day we will also hear him write songs from heaven borne of passion for the Almighty. That would be amazing!

雙強合璧~
The Sprite China 2nd Annual Charity Basketball game was a ton of fun. We played two 15 min halves with a running clock. I watched from the bench for the first half. We were trailing by 9 when I was notified that fans via text can choose a team to add 20 additional points to their tally!!! We were now down 29!! I wanted to play it cool but what the heck, the place was packed with fans who’d sang an early happy birthday to me and really wanted to watch me go to work. My teammates were down. They are all singers/actors and do not play ball much AT ALL, but they are very successful at what they do hence they are VERY competitive. They asked if I could bring them back in the second half..
I didn't want to disappoint them or the fans that had paid their hard earned money for a show so I took the challenge of really using the second half as a training session for my stamina. I ran and ran and ran. I wound up scoring 68 in the 2nd and we won. Like I said, they are not basketball players by any stretch of the imagination. I was just having fun with all of them and loved hearing the crowd enjoy the show we put on.
They performed some of their number 1 hits. We took pics and signed autographs. I believe we raised 2.6MM RMB for underprivileged youth here in China! That is the MOST important number of the night. Sprite, one of my sponsors, hosted the game. They carry a great message of self-expression: Don't be afraid to be who you are -- by doing, so that you will find your own path and your own greatness as you define it.
Here’s my pic with Jay Chou. For those who might not know he is a HUGE star in China and we have done several China based commercials and events together. He is THE beast of his field.
Tomorrow is my last day in China then it's back home for some much needed rest :-)
Much love. Mamba.
