The artist in this picture is my favorite male Taiwan singer, Lee Hom who borned in USA. music has been described as eclectic, intelligent, imaginative, and emotional. A proficiency in a multitude of different musical instruments and strong roots in classical violin, jazz piano, and Broadway-style musicals seem to enable him to dance effortlessly between musical styles. “Music,” says Leehom, “is my most comfortable language. In any language, be it French, Chinese, Jazz, or Hip-Hop, it is what you are trying to say that is most important.” Quoted once as saying that his “main goal is to inspire young people,” Leehom’s fundamental beliefs that “music can change the world” and that “the children are the key to our future” provide him with the fountain of contagious energy that rubs off on everyone around him.
