Malaysian singer-songwriter Gary Chaw will give a solo concert in April at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center.

    Chaw has achieved success in China, Malaysia and Singapore. He is renowned for his wide vocal range.

    In 2006, Chaw won Hong Kong TVB8’s best newcomer singer award. His big break occurred with the release of his Mandarin version of Karyn White’s 1988 song “Superwoman.” With this song, he won the best Mandarin male singer at the 19th Golden Melody Awards. Since then he has released a number of albums. In 2008, he composed and sang a song for the 2008 Beijing Olympics that was released on a CD called “Far Away.”

    In 2010, he joined BMA and has since been dubbed “Asia’s Best Male Singer” by the media. His concert tour of Asia, “Welcome to My World,” was a great success. Chaw has often covered songs that range from tenor to mezzo-soprano range. He also sang “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, switching between low tenor to countertenor range.

    Chaw has written some chart-topping songs in Taiwan sung by S.H.E, Cyndi Wang and Aaron Kwok. In a recent interview with MTV, Chaw admitted his early influences came from Stevie Wonder and R. Kelly.

    In 2014, Chaw entered Hunan Satellite TV’s “I Am a Singer 2,” and finished in the top 5. In 2015, Chaw entered the Chinese version of “The Masked Singer,” using a mask of the Monkey King as a disguise, but was instantly recognized by fans online due to his previous performances.
