Do you know ... what is it about Gary Cao and Crazy YET ?

Time vRoOoOOOOmmm !!! Crazy YET album is 3 months plus old, was launched on 20 Sep 2008. My VIRGIN interview was by Huimin from NTU Nanyuan Chronicle.

Friends were asking how come I "show hand" so fast in my virgin interview. Should have let go little by little, like what Gary Cao did, bringing on his girlfren OR wife (whatever he named her) into the picture at an appropriate timing. From a Gay to no-Gay issue, then turning from a SuperMan to a SuperDaddy, marrying a SuperWoman, soon after it will be SuperBaby OR maybe AstroBoy (Heeee !!!). And asking for a break from Fans to have more private time with his wife. I must say that is quite an interesting piece of marketing art, blending his life as an entertainer with his real self.

Well, for Crazy YET, I have decided to tell people straight from beginning that I have a Crazy Mrs YET with me. She is always there making sure all those loose ends being tied up. Whether or not she is feeling well or unwell, she will quietly get things done.

For a lady, to come to a decision to encourage her man to persue his dream, I really think it is really crazy. She knows that I have to invest quite a bit and the investment may not yield any returns ultimately. Both of us may have to slog for a couple of years just to get this album out. So, Mrs YET, thank you for all these hard work !!! While Gary Cao has his SuperWoman, I have my Crazy Mrs YET.

Cheers !!!

社工叶敦鸿花了3年的时间筹备,自资5万元终于推出了他的首张个人专辑《那个疯狂的人》。今年正步入三十而立人生阶段的他表示,自己做过最疯狂的事就是在27岁时步入婚姻,觉得那是一种责任和考验。

叶敦鸿坦言,所谓的疯狂,指的就是那些对理想有一份执着,不轻言放弃的人。所以对于他疯狂的梦想,太太这一路上的支持,甚至担任了他的MV女主角,让他十分感激。

他认为很多有理想的人,都是在等机会。叶敦鸿在大学的主修是社工和中文,当歌手是他的兴趣和梦想,但是在新加坡很难当全职歌手,除非先有资金。

他觉得,与其继续等待不如自己去找机会。追求理想应该是持有一种“可以,没有问题”的态度。而他也疯狂梦想“拉很多同伴,给他们一个平台展现才华,不让他们的才华被淹没”。

所以,《那个疯狂的人》的MV制作人,年仅20岁的董成伟和陈松光就是最好的例子。

叶敦鸿12岁时就开始创作。秉着当歌手的梦想,被几家唱片公司拒绝后,他觉得再等下去不是办法,于是就自己着手制作专辑,这次发行1000张。他希望能用自己的声音去表达一种精神所在的态度。

叶敦鸿也表示,希望长期可以多做关于音乐的工作,当然,他也不会忘了自己的本职。他认为年轻人若想成为音乐人,最重要的就是必须坚信自己可以实现理想。这样才不会在受到别人批评和质疑时就失去信心。

对于未来,叶敦鸿笑说:“继续作工赚钱,这样才可以继续实现理想。”
