LALA

After having various experiences with several music genres, LaLa became very versatile but her love is still R&B/Pop. The range of learning and musical challenges are never enough for her. LaLa joined a Chinese singing talent contest put on by the leading Chinese TV station, Fairchild Television, in Canada. LaLa competed and sang in Mandarin and Cantonese. Because she is westernized and did not speak Cantonese or Mandarin well, LaLa worked very hard learning the songs phonetically and won second place in the contest. The contest had national radio, television, and print media coverage, and LaLa was immediately recognized and became popular in the Chinese community across Canada. She continued to develop her relationship with Fairchild Television performing in Vancouver. Very shortly after the contest, LaLa entered David Foster’s Make A Wish Foundation Talent Search and was one of the 10 finalist in the Vancouver region. She sang for David Foster, Sue Foster, Clay Aiken, and Babyface. LaLa was greatly inspired by this experience.
It was not until October 2006, that LaLa made her biggest move in her music career. She completed her Masters degree in Education, left her music elementary teaching position at the time and the gigs she did singing at weddings, funerals, community, corporate and educational functions. LaLa moved to New York to pursue her music career. She worked with an indie production label called Feral Music and recorded a 14 song r&b/pop album. Over time, LaLa has also made several connections working with other major production teams and producers in New York such as Cove City Sound Studios. She is now showcasing her originals, appearing on the radio and music videos, recording and collaborating with other artists and musicians, DJs, choreographers, dancers and gigging with cover bands. In Febuary 2007, LaLa came in second place at The Verizon Sing Contest put on in the Chinese New Year Chinatown Parade in New York. She has also revisited her involvement (as a solo artist) with Claviscape, LLC in Conneticut where her single called “Shooting Stars” is released.
In August, 2007, LaLa met Mark Green, manager of The Bergen Performing Arts Centre. She opened up for award winning singer/songwriter, Michael McDonald and Davy Jones from The Monkees. Her shows are a great success and Mark Green plans to invite her back for more opening acts for celebrity headliners.
LaLa is driven to become a success story. An interviewer once asked her what fuels her to be so unstoppable and driven, and LaLa answered, “God has given me a talent, and I am going to take it to the fullest!”
