In 1960, Hong Kong English pop had peaked until the mid-1970s. After the Chinese language had become an official language in 1974, Cantopop's popularity increased dramatically due to the improved status of the language and the large Cantonese Chinese population in the city.
Eason Chan is a prominent male singer in Hong Kong's music industry. There is no doubt that he is one of the most dominant male singers in the post-1997 era of Hong Kong music industry.
- Praised by Time magazine as a front runner in the next generation of Cantopop
- Considered by some to be Hong Kong's third "god of song"
- Album "U87" was nominated by Time Magazine as "Five Asian Albums Worth Buying" in 2005
In 2010, Eason Chan comes to Melbourne and Sydney for his Duo concert series.
In his earlier years, the artist trained to be an architect, but gave this career path away after being signed to record label 'Capital Artists'. He has written at least 29 songs of note. Eason Chan is the second non-Taiwanese singer to win Taiwan's Golden Melody Award.
