Cantonese Singer: Alfred Hui

Hi guys! What going on? I know I have been only posting Korean Boy groups but today, I'm posting about Cantopop (Cantonese Pop)!  As you can tell from the huge banner above, I will be talking about Alfred Hui! I accidentally found him while doing homework at college on a youtube playlist that was recommended for me. The first song that I heard from him was "Shelter".

At first, I only listened to him because he sang Cantonese and I wanted to listen to Cantonese music for a change; however after hearing him sing "Shelter", I was instantly hooked. I kept listening to him over and over agin. When I study, I get really tense so I tend to listen to Alfred to calm me or another Korean op group Vixx  but that is another post for later.

                                            Here is the song that captivated me to him!
       
                                                                Alfred Hui- Shelter

I really enjoy Alfred Hui's music. I can actually feel is emotions through his voice. As a Canto (Person of Cantonese origin) who does not speak a lot of Cantonese, his songs are for the common people. He makes it simple but enjoyable.

As an Asian, singing is one of the things to be proud of, in my opinion because I do not have a voice apparently but its one thing to hold a high degree and sing. Alfred is one prime example. He went to Hone Kong University, which I think is one of the top university in Hong Kong. So he is smart! He was discovered while in college when he decided to audition  and he made it! Instead of dropping out and pursue a music career, he still got his Doctorate in Dentistry. Dentistry! He does have a license to practice dentistry. I will let him do my teeth anytime! Also, he is only 27! Being a Doctor and A singer at 27?1 Accomplished Asian right here! (Him posing in his graduation outfit on the right!)
                                                                                                         
I thought I did not speak English and I thought well if he did speak English, it will be a limited amount of English; however I saw a video of him speaking fluent English with no accent. I remember that Hong Kong (fun fact) was under British Rule for 99 years and was released June 30th, 1996. So they would speak perfect English.


Besides his talents, he is extremely cute. Apparently he has a similarity to Wu Chun (Former member of Fahrenheit) . I kinda see it but sometimes I think that it is a bit over exaggerated.  What do you guys think??

Thanks guys! That's all I have on Alfred Hui! i wished he performed here in the Tri-State area. Maybe I'll see him in Hong Kong when I go! Have a great night guys!
