Though Wang Lee Hom is in America, his heart is really in Taiwan! In his recent visit to Hong Kong to discuss his new album, Lee Hom took a day off to fly to Taiwan, bringing along with him a demo of "Love will never disappear", which took him a painstakingly three whole days to write. He hopes to publish the single soon and donate all the receipts to help the victims of the quake.
Wang Lee Hom expressed that it is very difficult to get hold of a airplane ticket to Taiwan now. His mother intended to fly with him but because she could not secure a ticket in time, hence stayed back in New York, leaving Lee Hom to rush to Taiwan alone. In order to get to Taiwan, Lee Hom had to fly to Chicago, transit at Seattle and again at Tokyo! The whole journey lasted 25 hours! Due to time limitations, Lee Hom could only stay a day in Taiwan before flying off to Hong Kong to make some pre-production plans for his upcoming new album.
After the quake happened, Lee Hom made his first contribution through his fan club to buy some medical supplies for the victims. Later, he donated a sum of money which was intendedly set aside for new recording equipment.
In this trip to Taiwan, Lee Hom came not only to ensure that everyone is alright but also to bring along his latest heartwarming song. He spent the whole of last week on the phone and email, comunicating with lyricist, Shi Fang (十方) in order to complete this ballad.
Now based in Boston, Lee Hom met WILLIAM RILEY, a top-notch vocal teacher, through the SonyMusic international. He has now stopped his education in Berklee for a semester, shuttling three to four times between New York and Boston in order to receive training under William.
Lee Hom remarked that William is actually very famous and reknowned in the American entertainment industry, many popular singers had been under his wing before!
