Biography
Born in Ipoh, Malaysia to a Hakka family ofsix as the third child amidst two older brothers (2nd oldestbrother Peter Wong works in NZ as an Internal Auditor) and oneyounger sister, the first step of Michael Wong's journey in theworld of music began when his parents invested into a piano (asemitone lower) for him and his younger sister. Wong was ten yearsold at the time. He then began to accompany his six year-old sisterto attend piano lessons together. He has practiced the piano forseven years since then.
Wong, as a devout Catholic, often sang in the church choirduring his school days and was once a choir teacher at a church.Graduating from SamTet School in Ipoh, Wong often participated in musicalperformances in school and has been writing his own songs sincesecondary school. Arriving in Kuala Lumpur (the capital city ofMalaysia) to pursue a course in computer engineering, and hisinterest in the world of music and music composition began togrow.
WuYin Liang Pin (無印良品)
Entering from up to 30 singing competitions in town in a singleyear, where he managed to surface as the winner several times, werealso the stepping stones to his successful singing career today.Finally noticed by Asia Pacific Music in the Pioneerkaraoke contest, he started to learn Audio Engineering at OceanInstitute Of Audio Engineering during his contract with AsiaPacific Music as a recording artist. After his graduation, Michaelproduced his first album with two other college mates, Chan andTan. With the joining of Victor Wong as a singer duringthat period, they submitted the album, with the theme song writtenby Michael, '掌心“ (The Palm) to Rock Records, which in turn, signedthem up almost immediately. They then formed a duo group known morecommonly known in Malaysia as Michael & Victor or GuangLiang Pin Guan (光良品冠). In Taiwan and China, they were mostly known as Wu Yin Liang Pin(無印良品), a name given by their record label in Taiwan.
The split
The duo then arguably became the first Malaysians to attain muchsuccess in the music scene in Taiwan. Their albums managed to hitthe top notch both locally and in Taiwan as their debut album wentplatinum in both Malaysia and Taiwan. After a few splendid andsuccessful years together as a duo in the Chinese music scene,during which the pair bagged countless awards for their success,Michael and Victor then decided it was time to part cordially andgo their own ways in the music scene as solo singers in year2000.[1]
Solocareer
Not long after the announcement, Wong worked hard to compose andwrite new songs for his new solo album, Michael's FirstAlbum (第一次個人創作專輯; Dì Yī Cì Gè Rén Chuàng Zuò ZhuānJí), which performed above expectation.[1]Although Wong's company promptly decided that he should produce hisfirst solo album on his own, he did not agree straight away. Thisis because he was not confident that he was skillful enough toproduce one whole album all by himself. However, after muchcontemplating, Wong finally accepted the challenge and wassuccessful in breaking away from the Michael & Victor mould.Other than working on his own album, Wong also found time toco-produce other singers' albums like Rene Liu and Fish Leong.
Wong released his second album, Ray of Light (光芒;Guāng Máng), in November 2002. It,then became the numberone album, in sales, in Taiwan.[1]
FairyTale
After releasing two solo albums on his own, his fans had to waitanother two years before Wong finally launched his much-anticipatedalbum, Fairytale (Tong Hua). The first single from this album,Fairy Tale, Wong wrote and composed by himself. Wong, who is moreof a composer and hardly wrote lyrics, asked about 30 lyricists forsuggestions for this particular song. After finally adding afinishing touch to the song with lyrics he wrote himself, he thenleft it to be arranged and produced by the experienced Japanese producer Taichi Nakamura.After rejecting the first few songs he short-listed himself for thealbum with his sense of perfection, Wong eventually re-selectedsome songs himself and finally rooted for his ten favourite songsto be cut into the album, of which six were co-written by himself.His two years of hard work finally paid off when this albumimmediately attained success, and is critically acclaimed to beWong's best-selling album yet.[1]
Fairy Tale has proved to be his strongest single yet by shootingup to No. 1 immediately after it was released in January 2005,making it to the top of the download counter Baidu 500 for 15 weeks as Asia was swept bythe 'Fairy Tale Tornado'. The single is arguably the mostsuccessful Chinese language song in the 21st Century. As of 2007 itis still among the top in the karaoke charts.[1]
Newcontracts
Michael Wong's contract with Rock Records ended on 31 Dec 2004but he decided to continue to promote for the album, Fairy Tale,released Jan 2005. After the promotion period finished, Wong hasmade the biggest decision in his singing career by announcing hisdeparture from his long time recording company, Rock Records, in July2005. After 10 years being contracted with Rock Records, Wong isnow officially signed to Amusic. The reason of his departure from RockRecords was because Rock Records believed that since his music wasso simple, it was not music. Thus, they ignored him. On TV, someonehad claimed that Wong's music was not music due to its simplicity,causing the singer grief. Wong's unstable relationship with RockRecords has encouraged his decision to leave for Amusic. Whenpressed for comments, Wong firmly and merely stated that he thankedRock Records for giving him his big break.
