Biography
Roy was born in Brunei, on 12 July 1965. He is 170 cm tall. He started to pen his own songs in 1986, at the age of 21. In the same year, three of his songs were published and sung by artists of the Mando-pop scene. In total, he released five albums in Singapore, three albums in Taiwan, and ten compilations in the past twenty years of his career.
<<愛如潮水>>, a prominent classic hit penned by Roy, catapulted Jeff Chang to instant stardom in 1994. Inevitably, this song managed to top the charts of countless radio stations in Asia, karaoke play lists, cell phone ringtone downloads charts, etc. In addition to this, <<愛如潮水>> has also garnered the likes of Hong Kong's Andy Lau, as he chose to re-sing and compile it in one of his albums.
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, 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. 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, Imagine Music.
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 judge of the previous 2 seasons of Project Superstar and Campus SuperStar.
