Album Name: Wei Lai (Future)

Khalil Fong (Traditional Chinese:方大同, born July 14, 1983) is a soul singer and songwriter from Hong Kong. He was born in Hawaii and his family moved to Shanghai when he was 6. His father (an American-born Chinese from San Francisco, California) wanted Khalil to learn more about Chinese culture. 6 years later, they moved to Guangzhou and lived there for about 2 years. Afterwards, they moved to Hong Kong. When he was 16, he sent demos, which he had written, to music producers. 4 years later, Warner Music Hong Kong finally recruited him as their producer. Khalil is a Bahá'í.

方大同(英文名:Khalil Fong,1983年7月14日-),香港男歌手,夏威夷出生,並先後於上海和廣州生活,於1998年定居香港。他是一個在香港罕有地創作R&B及靈魂樂作品的唱作人。其父為美籍華人,是名職業鼓手,並由父親教授他打鼓,故他自小接觸音樂,而其母則是填詞人茹嵐。在他五歲時曾看過一部有關音樂人的電影,使他對音樂及舞臺表演產生濃厚興趣, 自小就不時會在朋友的派對和社區活動上表演唱歌。 方大同於十五歲時自學吉他,在十八歲時自學彈琴。他鍾情於音樂,尤以五十至七十年代的懷舊藍調、靈魂等黑人音樂為主。他的偶像為Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Earth,Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton等等,對其日後的音樂創作有顯著影響。

All About Me

“I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”
