[edit] Biography

Roy was born in Brunei, on the 12th of July 1965. Standing at the height of 170cm, the Hainanese, tanned-skinned, medium built talent started to pen his own songs in 1986, at the mere age of 21. In the same year, he managed to have three of his songs published and had them sang by renowned artistes of the Mando-pop scene. In total, he released five albums in Singapore, three albums in Taiwan, and an outstanding number of ten compilations in the past twenty years of his career.

Though Roy is a well-known song-writer and lyricist, he had not been attending proper music training prior to the release of his chart-topper hits. According to Roy, he just goes according to the feel of his strummings on the guitar when penning songs.

In 1994, he wrote the melody of a Jeff Chang song which gave Chang his rise to fame. This song has topped the charts of countless radio stations in Asia, karaoke play lists, handphone ringtone downloads charts, etc. This song has also gained the likes of Hong Kong's heavenly king, Andy Lau, as he has chosen to resing and compile it in one of his albums too.

Besides penning songs for commercial purposes, the patriotic Roy has also written and published the theme song for the President Star Charity Show in 1994. He specially played this piece of composition on the piano in his 1994 album, in dedication to the then-president of Singapore, Mr Ong Teng Cheong.

After dwelling and carving a niche for himself in Taiwan for 8 years, he decided to return to Singapore and joined Tinybox Music as a music consultant. From then, he embarked on his journey as an instructor who trains aspiring singing talents.

One of his most acclaimed prodigies, Project Superstar female champion of the 1st season, Kelly Poon, whom he had painstakingly trained for three years before she achieved stardom through this nation-wide Chinese singing competition.

Besides being the music director for Kelly Poon's debut album, Love Me, Kelly, his self-written songs are also compiled in it.

In November 2006, he left Tinybox Music and established his own music school - Focus Music (黎沸揮音樂房).

Project Superstar 2nd season's contestants - Nathaniel Tan (runner up for the male category), Jeremy Kwan, Jeff Teay, are currently under his meticulous tutelage at Focus Music.

Roy is also known as a stern, witty, saracastic and jovial judge of the previous 2 seasons of Project Superstar and Campus SuperStar.

With his flamboyant dressing style and chiselled good looks, Roy definitely has the charm to make fans of the younger generation swoon over him.
