[Press Conference Coverage] Boon Hui Lu 文慧如 and 林恺伦 Karencici "How Now 好闹” Promo Tour in Malaysia 2019

Kuala Lumpur, June 2019 - A press conference of Boon Hui Lu 文慧如 and 林恺伦 Karencicipromo tour in Malaysia 2019 was held at Loud Speaker 大嘴叭， Setiawalk, Puchong on 7th June 2019.

Karencici's first visit to Malaysia!

During the interview, Karencici mentioned that this is her first time visiting Malaysia. She is very delighted to try out Malaysian food because she thinks Malaysia food is very delicious.

She first started off her journey in Taiwan since 16 years old. Throughout her career, she has composed songs for a few other prominent artistes before, such as Hebe and Jolin.

She likes Kpop when she was very young. She even attempted to send her own dancing and singing videos to Korean record labels before but there was no response that time.

She has composed her own songs and a few songs were picked for this album. "Sha Yan" was actually written by her for her friend after her friend went through a tough relationship with the boyfriend.

"Sha Yan" is an album consisting of multiple genres including R&B, Hip Hop, EDM and etc. She hopes that her next album will focus mainly on R&B and Hip Hop so that listeners can recognize it's Karencici’s music.

Karencici hopes to have her own music showcase in the future if possible.

Singaporean Boon Hui Lu’s Interview!

Boon Hui Lu mentioned that she has come to Malaysia before. Usually, she just visits Johor.

The album sees her change from cover singer to a recording artiste. Well known for her cover videos of over millions of view, she shared her opinion that most of the people rate success based on numbers (eg, numbers of views). In view of that, she has discussed with her album designer to insert numbers onto the cover photo of the album to symbolize that.

She shares that if she didn't become a singer, she would be working as an audit officer. She has made a promise with her family that she will try to become a singer within 3 years. Finally, her dream came true.

She has a passion for music since young. Thus, her parents are actually not surprised that she would be interested to pursue music as her career. She's very grateful that her parents were very supportive of her. And she's glad that she didn't give up in the past as there were times that she almost stopped chasing her dreams.

Initially, when she started her cover singing, no one knows that she can actually compose songs. Eventually, she decided to stop her audit work and fully focus on producing her own songs.

Nowadays she would write 1-2 songs every week. However, most of the times, only a few songs would be picked for release. One of her wishes is also to have a concert in the future.

When back at home, Boon Hui Lu and Karencici who are staying together would usually discuss about music and life. Sometimes both of them will write songs together. Sometimes they would even jam together.

Karencici said that she will try to slim down a bit before the upcoming awards show. She hopes to appear cooler during the red carpet. Boon Hui Lu said she will hope to go support Karencici at the awards show.

After that, she continued with the performance of "FaceTime", which tells the story of a long distance relationship.

She shared that she was chosen to compose a song for Hebe at the age of 16 years old. Hebe has invited her to join the recording session during that time.

She shared her thoughts regarding her album "亲爱的你，怎样的我”. The album took her around 2 and a half years to prepare.

Then she sang “亲爱的你” which she dedicated to her grandmother who has already deceased.

She also performed"只有眼泪”. Crying is often seen as something weak by people. However, it's the tears that always accompany us during our lowest times.

Regarding her album, there was a space between 亲爱的你and 怎样的我. This space is left empty so that it can leave more creative answers for the listeners to fill in with.

Apart from singing her own songs, Boon Hui Lu also sang a cover song LIVE. She sang "飘向北方”, a cover which has gained a lot of recognition.

[Upcoming Event] DENNIS LAU & FRIENDS: THE CHOSEN 2019 CONCERT

DENNIS LAU & FRIENDS: THE CHOSEN 2019 CONCERT

PROMOTES LIMITLESS OPPORTUNITIES, LOVE, PEACE AND EQUALITY

Kuala Lumpur, June 2019– After the hugely successful maiden concert in 2016 (Dennis Lau & Friends: The Phoenix Rising), music maestro Dennis Lau is bringing together an ensemble of multi-genre Malaysian artistes for the next chapter of Dennis Lau & Friends. Themed ‘THE CHOSEN’, the highly-anticipated full-scale mega concert by the multi-award winning violinist will be show produced by Jennifer Thompson and musically directed by Aubrey Suwito– whose names are synonymous with the highest quality international shows.

Audiences at THE CHOSEN by Dennis Lau & Friends Concert which will be held on 29^th June 2019at Mega Star Arena @ Viva Mall will be entertained and serenaded by rising stars namely Aisyah Aziz, Jeryl Lee, Dewi Seriestha, Lee Elaine, Jimmy Sax, Dennis Yin, NAMA, Fara Dolhadi and Namewee.

THE CHOSEN was selected as the theme for this concert to represent the beginning of Dennis Lau’s ‘Give Back’ movement in collaboration with Teach For Malaysia. It is a representation of a musically and spiritually mature Dennis, who aims to transport his audience to a limitless world of opportunities, love, peace and equality. The ‘Give Back’ movement includes a masterclass and mentorship programme for selected students through Teach For Malaysia.

Dennis Lau’s journey towards becoming an accomplished musician was birthed from a humble circumstance of academic failure and a mother’s persevering love. “My mother taught me the piano from the age of 3, and at the age of 7 I picked up the violin. I am where I am today because I had people who believed in me, who encouraged me and who provided me with opportunities. I have made my mark in the industry and I feel strongly that it is now time for me to give back through providing opportunities in music. My collaboration with Teach For Malaysia (TFM) enables me to do just that - empowering deserving children with the opportunities to pursue music. This concert is called ‘THE CHOSEN’ because we are all chosen for a specific purpose in our lives, to contribute for the greater good. And we are delighted to go on a musical journey with the students who have been ‘chosen’ – to inspire and provide them with the platform to discover their musical talents.”

“Teach For Malaysia believes in giving all children the opportunity to attain an excellent education, so that they can live lives they truly love. We are grateful for partners like Dennis Lau who share the same dream: To provide opportunities and platforms for students to realise their full potential. Over the last 6 months, Dennis and Fara (Dolhadi) have mentored 4 students of TFM teachers in vocal training, teaching them what it takes to be a performing artiste. This life-changing opportunity has stirred up their ambitions and empowered them to pursue music as a future career. Our students are honoured to be selected to perform the song that Dennis composed for them during ‘THE CHOSEN’ concert.” Said Dzameer Dzulkifli, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Teach For Malaysia

The four students from TFM will be performing a song especially composed by Dennis for them, titled ‘Esok’ on 29 June 2019. A portion of ticket proceeds from the concert will go to Teach For Malaysia to support its mission to end education inequity.

[Coverage] THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA @ Istana Budaya. Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, June 2019 – As mentioned in my previous post (https://www.wljack.com/2019/06/upcoming-event-phantom-of-opera-in.html), one of the world best musical, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA has made its way to Kuala Lumpur for a limited season at the Istana Budaya from 15^th June 2019 onwards until 7^th July 2019. So do catch the show while you still can!

World Class Show! Spectacular Performance!

It is not a wonder for this Andrew Lloyd Webber blockbuster to win over 70 major theatre awards due to its high-quality production. The casts for the show really possess great vocals which totally mesmerized the audience. I really adore the voice of Jonathan Roxmouth who plays the role of The Phantom Of The Opera. His infusion of emotions via his singing is really remarkable. Clara Verdier’s performance as Christine Daaé is also very impressive. Her melodic voice has totally caught the audiences’ heart. Apart from that, I was totally mind-blown by Jana Ellsworth’s astonishing performance as Carlotta Giudicelli. Her high pitch and vocal control is unbelievable.

Seamless Transition! Jaw-dropping scenery and breathtaking special effects!

A highly notable element of the show was the well-crafted props and background scenery that can suck the audience in into the story. The chandelier is definitely one of the limelight of the show. I personally really love the scene when The Phantom Of The Opera brings Christine to his hideout. The boat scene with candles is really memorable. Most importantly, all of these wonderful sceneries were swapped through seamless transition!

Credits to official photographer

Of course, not to forget, the costumes for the casts are very distinctive and imaginative. The variety of colours and the beauty of the attires were prominently presented during the performance of Masquerade!

Overall, I really think that THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA presented by Lunchbox Productions, Base Entertainment Asia and TEG Dainty in Kuala Lumpur is a show not to be missed. Do check out the show before it’s too late!

Million thanks to Base Entertainment Asia for inviting our team from www.wljack.com to do a coverage on the show.

[Coverage] DENNIS LAU & FRIENDS: THE CHOSEN 2019 CONCERT

Kuala Lumpur, July 2019– Last weekend was a blast! Apart from Kpop Concert 2019 GFRIEND ASIA TOUR “GO GO GFRIEND!” LIVE IN KUALA LUMPUR (Check out our article: https://www.wljack.com/2019/07/coverage-2019-gfriend-asia-tour-go-go.html), Dennis Lau & Friends: The Chosen 2019 Concert has also taken place at Mega Star Arena!

Multiracial Artistes! Great Rendition of Music!

THE CHOSEN featured multiracial blend of artistes including Dennis Lau himself alongside his friends that consisted of Dewi Seriestha, Namewee 黃明志, Aisyah Aziz, Lee Elaine, Fara Dolhadi, Sobhi Shaker, Jimmy Sax, Jeryl Lee, NAMA and etc. It was not just an epic concert, but was also a gathering of friends whereby the bunch of talented people get to express themselves as freely as they could in music!

Besides, the concert also promotes “Give Back” movement which introduces the four young talents from Teach For Malaysia (TFM) schools. These four youngsters with the names of Stacy Jean Toolseram (17), Nursyasya Batrisyia Binti Zulkiflee (15), Dania Hidayah Binti Mohd Ridzuan (17)and Razin Aiman bin Mazhan (18) were given once-in-a-lifetime experience of a six-month Masterclass & Mentorship programme with Dennis Lau and Fara Dolhadi. They were even given a chance to collaborate with great artistes in the song “Esok”, a song which promotes limitless opportunities, love, peace and equality.

“The past six months has been very fulfilling for me personally as I journeyed with the four students and witnessed their transformation and growth. They have so much potentials in them and I am so proud to have been a part of this programme to ‘Give Back’. I look forward to continue the journey of Masterclass with them and to see where this adventure will bring them in their careers,” shared Dennis.

Kick Off with Magic Show!

The event which was held at Mega Star Arena @ Viva began with spectacular magic show by Asia’s Got Talent Finalist, Sobhi Shaker. It was then followed by the performances of Jimmy Sax, Fara Dolhadi, Namewee and Dewi Seriestha alongside Dennis Lau who played the Viper Violin!

Next, Jeryl Lee, Lee Elaine, Fara and NAMA performed ‘A Kind of Sorrow’ together on stage. It was a very nice cover by great voices!

During the concert, we also get the see the ultimate LIVE Version of Namewee’s “飘向北方” featuring melodic voice of Fara and jaw-dropping violin play by Dennis Lau! This was by far the best LIVE version of that song that I have ever heard!

Dennis Lau made a change of outfit and instrument of choice during the final slot. He has performed ‘the Journey’ with his Phoenix violin solo. One of the highlight of the evening was when all the artistes (Dennis Lau & Friends) performed ‘Esok’together with the children from TFM.

Aisyah Aziz then took the stage next with ‘Abadi Kita’ followed by the finale – a Bruno Mars Medley. Last but not least, the concert came to an end with an encore performance by Dewi titled “Mahkota’

For this extraordinary concert, Dennis Lau had a new violin specially commissioned from renowned luthier Alistair Hay. The same designer also custom made two of Dennis Lau’s violins previously – the Phoenix and the Dragon violins. Several years back, Dennis Lau was besotted when he saw superstar Wang Lee Hom playing a dragon-shaped guitar. He learned that the guitar was the handicraft of Alistair, a custom designer at Emerald Guitars at Cavanacaw, Ireland and proceeded to commission him for the Phoenix violin, followed by the Dragon violin.

‘My violins are tools that I use to express myself as a musician. They allow me to best channel my soul and energy into it and are tools to help reach my goals of showcasing the energy, hopes and dreams of every song I play for the audience,” shared Dennis.

Overall, it was quite a memorable concert with great music! It’s also worth highlighting that a portion of the concert ticket proceeds will go to Teach for Malaysia to support its mission to end education inequity. Great job, Dennis and friends!

[Coverage] Fish Leong 梁静茹《我好吗？ - 太阳如常升起》The Sun Also Rises Album Sharing Session

Kuala Lumpur, July 2019 - After a hiatus of 7 years, Fish Leong 梁静茹has finally come back with her new album titled《我好吗？- 太阳如常升起》The Sun Also Rises. An album sharing session was held last Saturday at Pavilion Hotel, Kuala Lumpur by Banyan Tree. The event has attracted hundreds of fans, media and many celebrities who are Fish Leong’s friends. Everyone came here to support the Diva of Mandopop Love Songs, Fish Leong.

Fish Leong with a new album after 7 years of the wait!

It’s been almost 20 years since Fish Leong has debuted. This time around, the fans have waited for 7 years before she released this latest album. Fish Leong mentioned that she didn’t intend to let the fans wait for so long. She explained that she was trying to adjust her own pace of life and maintain the best state for the recording of her new songs

During the event, My FM Radio Announcer Ah Yoon who hosted the event highlighted that Fish Leong’s latest album this time has a good “budget”. This is because all of the components for this album including the songs, music videos and even promotional events were very well presented and produced in very high quality. All the music videos are shot magnificently like short films. Fish Leong joked that all of her budget from past 7 years was consumed in the making of this album. This would show to the fans of her seriousness in making new music. She also joked that she might consider consuming 10 years for the preparation of the next album.

The promo cover photography this time was done at Canada. It brings back a lot of memories to Fish Leong as this was the first place for the recording of her first album.

During the sharing session, she has discussed some of the songs in this album. One of the songs she talked about was “慢冷”. This song was about how painful/sorrowful a person is if he/she was the party who couldn’t “turn cold” (let go) easily in a broken relationship. It’s a song which belongs to the same category as “可惜不是你”and “崇拜”.

For this album, she also wrote lyrics for the song “平行时空”. The message she hopes to deliver via this song is that Love can cross any borders of dimensions. Fish also shared regarding her wish for the next album. She hopes that the next album can consist of a “one person in charge” concept in which it only consists of one writer, one composer and one producer for all songs. She felt that a music album would be more unique this way.

During the event, Kenny Ong (Managing Director for Malaysia, Singapore, IndoChina Of Universal Music Group) has presented souvenirs to Fish Leong. Kenny mentioned that whenever he asked anyone else from other countries to name a popular singer from Malaysia, the answer would be Fish Leong. He hopes that Fish Leong can have a concert in Malaysia some day in the future.

Apart from this, Fish Leong has performed LIVE with one of her new songs titled “如爱所愿”. What a beautiful voice she has!

The event ended with Fish Leong signing autograph for the fans.

Fun facts, during the same day, actually Fanfan 范玮琪was staying at the same hotel that this event was held. They even had a short personal meet-up session before they proceeded with their own promotional activities.
