  • Stargazer: Khalil Fong
    + + uestions + ++ + ith Q answers w khalil fong halil Fong is a soul-pop star who is taking the Asian music scene by storm, with sold-out concerts full of cheering fans. “Fong’s Kconcerts are cherished events that attract industry people and music aficionados” writes the Taipei Times. The publication also says, with “his smoldering voice and his beautifully crafted . songs, he has been conquering radio and television in Taiwan.” Another journalist calls him “one of the best musicians to come out of the Hong Kong music scene in recent years.” Khalil, who is 26, was born in Hawaii. When he was six, he and his family moved to China, in part to connect with their Chinese culture. Khalil started writing music in his teens and taught himself to play piano and guitar. At 19, he was hired by Warner Music Hong Kong as a songwriter. Warner later released his first CD, Soul Boy. Khalil has since produced five CDs in three languages—Mandarin, English, and Cantonese. He’s won many awards in Hong Kong, where he lives with his family. He has also been honored as a top musician in Korea, Taiwan, China, Singapore, and Malaysia. Q. What’s your favorite childhood memory? Going to farmers’ markets in Hawaii and having fresh coconut [from] this guy named Coconut Joe. He would climb the coconut trees . [and] sell them in his small truck. He’d have this big cane knife, and he’d just cut the top open and give you a straw, and you’d have the coconut juice.
