Lee’s First Time Coming To Malaysia For His Album Promo! Cooperation with Chet
Lam林一峰 for his album!
This is Ivan’s first time to come to Malaysia for
his album promotion. He stated that he loves Malaysia and he said that some
locals even commented that he looked like a Malaysian. Anyway, just in case you
guys do not know yet, Ivan was actually the winner for a Neway singing
competition in the year of 2012. He has finally released his first EP album on
May 2014. He thanked the famous HK music producer 林一峰 for helping him so much for
this album. He also said that 林一峰 has taught him a lot in not just music but also in
terms of attitude which is essential in life.
Prefers Funky Style Song!
Ivan
stated that there were many HK songs which are based on romantic themes. Thus,
he hopes to try something different. He prefers to sing funky style song which
is more positive, inspirational and motivational like his hit single, “What’s Up Buddy”. He stated that he
actually dedicated this song for one of his friend who has fallen sick last
year. He hoped that the song could provide some motivation for his friend and
remind him that everyone has one or few buddies around who would support them
when under tough times.
The
album “What’s Up Buddy” consisted of 5 songs. Each of the song has a
different theme and each of them has a
background story which is related to Ivan’s life.
Ivan’s Mother used to hope that his son
can be in another profession!
Ivan
said that he has a different view from his mother who hopes that he could
become a doctor, a lawyer or etc. He admitted that he was not that excellent in
academic. Due to the fact that his family is not that rich, he has gone for
part time since 15 years old. His mother used to compare him with his neighbor’s
son and etc. In order to make his mother proud, he has taken part in many
singing competitions. However, his mother was not that impressed at first. Until
he won the Neway Competition on 2012, he saw that his mother posted a status in
her facebook, “I am so proud of you, son.” This whole incident has inspired him
for the song of “为你骄傲”.
He stated that he is also very proud of his mother for bringing them up so well
despite being a single parent.
Learnt Guitar To Court A Girl!
When
asked about the reason for him to learn guitar in the past, he stated that his

Jay Chou’s 晴天. After learning guitar, he has utilized his skill for
his following singing competitions that time.
