| Born in New York in 1976, Wang grew up in the United States. Blessed with a mix of brains and talent, he spent his youth performing in local musicals. While in university, Wang landed a recording contract in Taiwan. His breakthrough album firmly established him as a rising star in the Asian music scene. In addition to writing and producing his own music, Wang has also taken part in movie projects around Asia. He has won a great popularity, and now he is having an interview with CNN Talk Asia. 1. ______________ WL: It is a school of hip hop, which is the way I like to think of it. It combines Chinese elements and sounds. I started it off in my last album called Shangrila. And this album combines the music of ethnic minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongolia. It's beautiful and original to Chinese culture. And this new album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen-chu, which are thousand-year-old traditions also unique to Chinese culture. Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I don't think anyone has ever done this before in the hip hop world. 2. ______________ WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with. I produce for other artists and compose for them as well. And there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia. And it's really exciting so I decided that I'm going to need a studio in New York. I'm going to need a studio in Taipei. And maybe the rest I can get by with just my laptop. 3. ______________ WL: Well, I started doing musical theatre. And I loved it so much from the age of 13, you know. Actually in 2000, I did my first movie and ever since then I've been enjoying doing movies. I don't think I'm much of an actor. But I just love being surrounded by creative people and a lot of times doing music is a lonely struggle, especially composing, and arranging, producing my own albums. Acting, every day you get called and you're surrounded by other actors and creative people. 4. ______________ WL: The first time I won, like you just said, when I was 22, it meant a lot to me. It was like…I didn't know I could make this happen. I didn't know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it was huge increase of confidence. And I don't want to say vanity(虚荣心), but confidence. I think every artist needs confidence. 5. _______________ WL: Well, it can be a real pain in the neck. You know, I feel lucky that I can go back to New York and not be recognized and not be followed. At times it can be really, really annoying. Today many people own a cell phone that has a camera on it… |
