Goodbye & Hello out on 19/10

About Me

I'm Tanya Chua. T for short. Not much of a tea drinker..coffee rocks, illy especially. So yes, I'm a singer songwriter. Straddling between being a Chinese pop singer and an English folk rock singer...it's weird I know..but my life has always been that way. Not very good at self-introductions. I think and speak too randomly, sometimes totally missing the point that I initially wanna make as such is the case now. I love music as much as I love broccoli and Ashtanga yoga. I love my Martin too and oranges, though too many oranges make my skin a tad too yellow for my liking..but what the heck...I'm Chinese lol I was born and bred in Singapore and started writing songs when I decided to pick up the guitar to prove to a musician who once yelled at me for not knowing anything about music. But thank goodness for that as I was pretty clueless during my formative years. I thought I would end up as a road sweeper wearing those luminous orange vests...I love orange by the way. So yadada...here i am today. Having spoken English all my life, by a stroke of luck, I became a Chinese pop singer..singing mandarin ballads mostly. I still think and speak in English but wanting to feel more authentic to the language that I'm singing in, I moved to Taipei about a year ago. Still struggling to make sense of all those chinese characters everywhere, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. So yeah. Welcome to T's myspace. You'll find a mixture of Chinese and English ditties written by myself. Don't be confused as I am. A new Chinese album is in it's making and so is an English one. May the universe be filled with peace and joy. OM shanti Love TMy Myspace
