Hong Jing Yao (Ah Yao) - Keyboard Player/Pianist
洪敬尧 (阿尧) - 钢琴师/键盘手

An accomplished music arranger and keyboard player/pianist, Ah Yao also has an album "Sleepless Bible" under his name. Inside, you would find 12 new cool arrangements of Wakin's songs, which includes "Qing Fei De Yi"!

Well known for his stage chemistry with Wakin, he goes on to prove it even further in the Malaysia 2003 concert when he actually paused together with Wakin when Wakin forgot the lyrics to "Tian Hei Hei" and actually played in sync with him when he had finally remembered his next line of lyrics!

阿尧是一位出色的编曲师与钢琴师/键盘手。他曾发行过个人专辑《枕边书》。里面有阿尧重新编曲的12首华健的歌,例如:《情非得已》。

阿尧与华健的默契向来是让人津津乐道的话题。 今年华健于2003马来西亚的演唱会上唱《天黑黑》时,唱到一半因忘词而停顿,阿尧也适时停止弹奏。待华健终於记得歌词时,阿尧的琴声随之而起,充分展现了两人合作无间的默契。
 

Wakin always says that he looks like a girl from behind..
hhmm...does he??

华健常说从背后看过去,阿尧长的像女孩子。。会吗??

Since we are buddies, there is no need for a reason to be together at any time!?

既然是兄弟,不必讲道理,三不五时都混在一起!?

Li Wan Fu (Xiao Hai) - Bass guitarist
李皖阜 (小海) - 贝斯手

Part of the Hard Band, Xiao Hai is also known as the "Andy Lau of Chinatown" (that's what Wakin called him in the 2002 SG concert). Cool looking and talented, Ah Zheng Lao Shi also introduced him as the bass guitarist who "defeated" him in the 2003 Malaysia Concert.

Although Xiao Hai has only gained more exposure recently, he has actually been part of Wakin's production crew since many years back, often being the guitarist or being part of the background vocals. For example, in the song "Wo Shi Ma Ma De" in the album Who Am I, Xiao Hai is part of the big group that sings the song. Just like how you always see Lee Chi with his blue violin, Xiao Hai is also almost always seen with his blue and white bass guitar too!

小海是Hard Band的一份子。在2002新加坡演唱会上,华健称他为《牛车水的刘德华》。小海长得很酷又很有才华。阿铮老师在2003马来西亚演唱会上介绍他时,把他称为 "差点儿把自己干掉的小海"。 虽然小海只是在近期才有那么高的曝光率,但他在华健的制作群已有一段日子。譬 如说收录在《我是谁》原声带的《我是妈妈的》,小海就是大合唱里的其中一位成员。 就如每次看到李琪老师时就会看到那蓝色小提琴一样,每次小海出现,他也都会拿 著一把蓝白色的贝斯吉他!
 

Looking cool..
On stage....

在台上酷酷的小海......

And off stage....

在台下也是酷酷的...... .

But why is his head covered in both photos?!!

但为什么两张照片头都是遮起来的?

Ah~~~ Xiao Hai...unmasked....

啊~~~小海的卢山真面目......

Alan Wong - Drummer
黃顯忠(大Alan) - 鼓手

Alan Wong is a Singaporean and he has been a drummer for a long time. Besides Wakin's concerts, he also helped out in other concerts, including Jacky Cheung's, Jeff Chang's and F4's concerts. You can also catch him in variety shows such as Super Sunday and Music all Night, the music show hosted by Harlem Yu. He is also part of the band, R.A.Y. Details can be found here : R.A.Y Band

大Alan是位新加坡人。 他当鼓手已经很多年了。除了是华健的鼓手, Alan也参与 了张学友, 张信哲和F4的演唱会。 他也在《超级星期天》以及哈林主持的《音乐 大不同》里演出。他同时也是乐队R.A.Y的一份子。欲知更多详情, 请到这里查询 : R.A.Y 网站。
 

I shall rest my hands now... by holding them up high? Grin......

该让我的双手休息了... 那就是把它们举高!嘻嘻......

Puan puan dan tuan tuan*, do I look cool?

(* "puan puan dan tuan tuan" means "Ladies and Gentleman" in Malay. Alan had used this greeting in his introduction of the band members through a video recording during the 2002 Singapore concert.)

各位先生小姐们, 这样帅吧?

Chen Jian Qi - Keyboard Player
陈建骐 - 键盘手

Jian Qi, the keyboard player of Hard Band, has often been teased by Wakin for resembling himself in his younger days. Well, what do you think?

Jian Qi is also often involved in the production of recent Wakin's albums. His works can be found in the "NOW" album. He is also the MIDI programmer for the 'Sour version' of "If now I......" and has done music arrangements for several songs in the "NOW" and "Day Lilies" albums.

Visit his personal site

陈建骐是 Hard Band的键盘手。 华健曾经取笑说,建骐貌似他年轻时的模样。 你 们觉得呢?建骐也有参与华健的专辑制作过程。 他的作品可以在《现在》专辑里找 到。 他是《如果我现在》/ 酸版的 MIDI 编排者,也是《现在》、 《忘忧草》专 辑里的编曲者之一。
 

Gee, why is the music score put so high up? My neck is going stiff soon!

咦? 怎么乐谱放得那么高? 我的脖子要僵了!

Hey, Lee Chi~ Can I learn how to play the violin too?

嘿, 李琪老师~ 几时教我拉小提琴呢?

Anyone wants some soya bean drink? (or 'Tao Huay' break?) Wonder if the drink in Malaysia is as good as Yung Ho Soya Bean drink in Taiwan?

有没有兴趣来点豆花水呢? 不知道马来西亚的豆花水会不会比台湾的永和豆浆好喝?

Shh~~~ don't disturb me when I'm serious!

嘘~~~ 我认真的时候别吵我!

Ah Zheng Lao Shi - Bass Guitarist
阿铮老师 - 贝斯手

So who is Ah Zheng Lao Shi? For every Wakin major concert that you see, you will not miss Ah Zheng Lao Shi.As part of the Wakin's concert tradition, the band members will always be introduced to the audience. At the Malaysia concert, it was not done by Wakin. Instead, a video clip of Ah Zheng introducing the band members was shown.This time round, Ah Zheng was sick and unable to attend the concert personally. Thus, he "appeared" in Wakin's concert in this very special way. A really touching scene! And no, it was not because Xiao Hai "defeated" him that he was not there! =P

阿铮老师是何方神圣呢?每一次华健的大型演出里你一定会看到他。华健在演唱会时总不忘介绍乐手们。今年马来西亚演唱会,虽然阿铮老师因生病无法出席,他却以 “ 录影带介绍乐手” 这种特别的方式来参与演出,真的非常感人!还有,得先说,阿铮老师不是因为给小海“干掉”了才没有出席演唱会哦! =P
 

Ah Zheng: Err..Wakin..i think maybe it's time you did more exercise...GrinZ

阿铮:“嗯。。华健。。我觉得你应该做多点运动了” (奸笑。。。)

Lee Chi: Ok~!! I shall teach Jian Qi the violin...and Ah Zheng!! You have to teach me the bass guitar!!!

李琪:好!我教建骐小提琴。。阿铮!!你得教我贝斯!!

Ah Zheng, we look forward to see you back on stage, strumming your bass guitar again!

阿铮老师,我们期待看到你弹著你的贝斯吉他,重回舞台!!

Kody Lee Chi - Violinist/String Ensemble Conductor
李琪 - 小提琴/弦乐指挥

If you know the song "Little Paradise", then the term "Easy Band" shouldn't be alien to you. The musician playing a unique blue violin must have caught your attention! Well, he is the sought-after Taiwanese musician, Kody Lee Chi. Since the joining of Easy Band in 1996, Lee Chi had arranged many popular pop songs such as Wakin's "Little Paradise", "A Man With A Story" and "I Know" etc. Besides arranging music, Lee Chi has also been engaged to perform in the concerts of many outstanding pop icons. There were times where he would lead his string ensemble to perform in these concerts too! Having started playing the classical violin at a tender age, Lee Chi was able to incorporate the essence of classical music into the pop scene. Such efforts not only allowed the non-classical music goers to accept such music better, it also gave classical music a new lease of life. It was often noted that Lee Chi has no facial expressions while he was performing. He simply had immersed himself totally in the musical notes! Such professionalism also won him the respect and love of many fans! So, never ever belittle the charm of this violinist¡­

如果你听过《小天堂》那么对Easy Band应该不陌生吧? 乐队里那位弹奏蓝色小提琴 的乐手便是李琪了! 自1996年起, 李琪便帮华健编写了许多脍炙人口的经典曲子, 如 《小天堂》, 《有故事的人》 和 《我知道》等等。除此之外, 李琪也曾在许多杰出艺人的演唱会上担任弦乐手, 甚至带领自己的弦乐 团一同表演!! 自小受到古典音乐的熏陶, 李琪也融会贯通,将古典乐的精华融入流 行乐里. 此举不但让不懂古典乐的朋友也能从流行乐里欣赏到古典乐的魅力, 也让 传统的古典乐获得新生命而得以继续流传下去! 李琪拉琴时因为太专心,所以总是 面无表情 . 这种对音乐的专注与认真让他得到许多乐迷的爱戴与拥护! 所以,这位 乐手的魅力是不容忽视的哦。

Wakin loved to give him nicknames! Eg. "Beethoven Lee. Mozart Chi" and "Lionel Ritchie" (a soul-music singer). But I doubt Lee Chi would ever response to these nicks anyway! So, don't ever try!!

华健总喜欢给乐手们取一些奇怪的外号, 李琪因此又名─ “李多芬●琪札特” 和 “莱偌李奇”!

Wakin: "Excuse me, must you always look so serious?"
Lee Chi:
(Can he stop disturbing me?!)

华健: “请你不要摆著一幅很认真的样子,行吗?”

李琪:
(饶了我吧, 华健!)

Luo Tian Zhou - Background Vocals

Luo Tian Zhou, who is also called Luo papa, is one of the most experienced vocalists in Taiwan. Luo papa has been helping Wakin with his background vocals for a long time. He has also been engaged as the background vocalist for other artistes such as F4 and Jay Chou. Other than that, he also seems to have a keen interest in photography.

罗天洲, 昵称罗爸爸, 是台湾著名的合音师。他从很早以前就开始帮华健合音了。 他也常参于别的歌手的合音组合,例如F4和周杰伦。 除了唱歌, 罗爸爸对摄影也蛮有兴趣的。

Lee Ting Kuang - Guitarist
李庭匡 - 吉他手

During the 329 Malaysian concert, Ah Zheng has described him as the guitarist who has worked with Wakin for the longest time. And how true was that! A member of the EZ band, he was always present at all of Wakin's concerts. And of course, being such a good buddy, he was definitely not spared from Wakin's jokes. On the other hand, he was often being "threatened" with a pay cut, etc.

A very experienced guitarist, perhaps his best remembered piece on stage would be the front solo of the song "New Ever lasting Love". And of course his solo left Wakin with a "Hey! I don't believe you did that!"look.. GrinZ.. Wakin, you've found your match!

For more information on Ah Kuang, visit this site : Ah Kuang

329马莱西亚演唱会的时候,阿铮老师介绍阿匡老师的时候说:他是华健合作最久的吉他手。这个可不是盖的!阿匡老师是EZ Band的一份子,在华健的大大小小的演唱会中,一定会看到他。当然,既然是兄弟,当华健讲乐手们的笑话时,一定不会饶阿匡老师的。常被华健“威胁”得减薪。。。等。。

阿匡老师最让人叫好的现场秀。。大概就是那段“男大当婚女大当嫁”的solo。而那段精彩的solo表演也让华健有着非常不服气的样子。。。嘿嘿! 华健你遇到对手啦!! 更多阿匡老师的介绍, 请按这里 : 阿匡老师
 

Oh man! Seems like there is no lack of professional photographers in the band!!!

天啊,乐队里的老师都是专业摄影师嘛?

Liu Zhe Wei (Xiao Wei) - Guitarist
(刘哲维) 小维 - 吉他手

Xiao Wei has been Wakin's guitarist as early as the "flowery heart" album. Recently in the Malaysia 329 concert, Wakin had a small accident which resulted in a broken black guitar. The black guitar was one of Wakin's favourite and it was actually Xiao Wei who had introduced him that model, since he had one of his own. And indeed, it's a "had", because after the concert, Xiao Wei gave Wakin his own black guitar as a gift. How nice of him!

You can also catch him in variety show Music all Night, the music show hosted by Harlem Yu.

小维从《花心》专辑就开始担任华健的吉他手了。 不久前的大马329演唱会中, 一 个小意外使华健的黑色吉他断成两截。 那个吉他其实是小维介绍华健买的。 他也 有同样的一把。 演唱会后,小维把他那只黑色吉他当做礼物送了给华健。小维真是有心人!

小维也在哈林主持的《音乐大不同》里演出。

Taylor Sung - Hair Stylist
宋伟亮 - 发型师
vs
Young Yong An - Personal Manager
杨永安 - 私人助理



These 3 gentlemen are the famous - "Three Musketeers of Stars Ferry"!! Wakin with his right-hand & left-hand Man - Taylor Sung & Young Yong An The Perfect Working Partners of all occasions... The brothers for lifetime...

这三位便是大名鼎鼎的 “摆渡三健客”!! 华健与他最得力的“左右手” 宋伟亮 (Taylor) 与 杨永安。 他们是永远的最佳拍挡... ... 永远的兄弟... ...


Right-Hand-Man: Taylor Sung
右手先生: 宋伟亮 (Taylor)
Hong Kong-born professional stylist, Taylor Sung, has been Wakin's personal hairstylist since the release of "Make me happy, make me sad" album in 1991. Taylor's previous experience as a stylist in Hong Kong's movie industry has made him an indispensable partner in Wakin's performing career. All of Wakin's dashing hairstyles in his concerts and album covers were the creations of Taylor, who will always make sure that Wakin looks his best in all performances.
Their relationship was being reinforced after a drowning accident happened to Taylor years ago. Wakin had actually risked his life to save Taylor from a strong under-current.

宋伟亮香港人,自1991年《让我欢喜让我忧》便是华健贴身发型师. 早期工作於香港电影界, Taylor已经是位出色的造型师. 华健慧眼识英雄,聘请他当私人发型师兼助理。 华健自1994年后所发行的专辑及大小演唱会上的发型,都是Taylor的精心杰作. 华健当年的“怒海救命之恩”想必让Taylor感激在心! 此劫后余生的经验也巩固了两人的兄弟之情。

Taylor: "Luo Papa, let's take a picture together! Cameraman, You better not make me look FAT, ok?! Coz' I AM NOT!! I don't want to be laughed at by Wakin AGAIN!!!"

Taylor : “罗爸爸,我们来照相! 摄影师,你千万别把我拍得胖嘟嘟的! 不然华健又拿我当笑柄,我可饶不了你!! 嘿嘿…”


Left-Hand-Man: Yang Yong An
左手先生: 杨永安
Behind every successful artist, there'll always be a great assistant to help manage the artist's career. And Wakin has picked this Taiwanese as his assistant-cum-manager to look into all matters, be it the arrangement of his schedules or the liaison of concert contracts world-wide. Yong An has proven himself to be an excellent assistant. After his national service, Yong An started his career, in a Taiwanese record label "DJ Records", as a promotional executive for a duet "Ukuleles". His outstanding working attitude was later recognised by "Rock Records", which eventually offered him a job. This marked the start of his long-term partnership with Wakin. Yong An's experiences in the records industry has also make him an indispensable partner in Wakin's singing career till today.

一位出色的歌手背后一定少不了一位得力助手。所以, 日以万计的华健背后当然少不了自己的私人助理。 永安不但为华健打点繁琐的事务, 许多国内外的表演合约也需永安全权去接洽. 自退伍后便在当时的“点将唱片”当“优客李林”的唱片宣传,由於工作表现出色,被“滚石”极力挖角跳槽。从此开始了他与华健南征北讨的日子。 永安在唱片界所累积的丰富经验也让他成为华健音乐事业上不可缺少的好搭档。

Yong An: "Xiao Hu, since Wakin is not around, could you grant me my greatest wish?"
Xiao Hu: "Emmm... What is it?"
Yong An: "Well, I have always like singing. Can I sing "Your Song" while you play the guitar?"
Xiao Hu: "But....that is not my song! It's Wakin's!!"
Yong An: "It's not Wakin's song either!! It's Elton John's!! So, I can sing!!!"
Xiao Hu: '''-_-

永安: “小虎, 既然华健不在. 你可否让我实现一个愿望呢??
小虎: “嗯到底是甚么?”
永安: “其实当了华健的私人助理十多年, 我也耳濡目染喜欢唱歌。 所以,能让我唱首《Your Song》过过瘾吗? 你来用吉他来替我伴奏。”
小虎: “嗯这可不是我的歌! 而是华健的!”
永安: “那也非华健的歌嘛! 是英国人Elton John的歌! 所以, 我可以唱喽!”
小虎: '''-_- “哎 ~ 真受不了!”

Xiao Jiang & Jia Qing - Stars Ferry Crew
小江 和 嘉庆 - 摆渡人工作人员

The infamous pair by now... The former is also called Jiang Chairman and the latter is also known as the Golden Mane Lion. They are both part of the "Sorrow-less Grass" in Stars Ferry, since everytime they appear in Wakin's weekly diaries, they would be the ones who are always portrayed in a very comical and humorous way. And we have them to thank for for the everyday running of Stars Ferry!! ^_^

Note: The other member of the "Wang You Cao" is Xiao Hai~

这两位大名鼎鼎的仁兄。。前者也叫江总裁,后者,你可以称呼他为金毛狮王。两位都是“忘忧三根草”里的成员。为何是“忘忧三根草”?因为每当华健写周记时,都会把这两位人物写得非常幽默有趣。所以他们俩位也变成名副其实的忘忧草啦!摆渡人工作室的大大小小事物,也得靠这两位仁兄。辛苦了!^_^

注:另外一根忘忧草是小海~
 

This is Xiao Jiang, Chairman Jiang. With a videocamera on hand, he sure looks pro. An expert at videography/photography too??

这位是小江,江总裁。手里拿着录影机,一副专业的样子。多一个摄影高手??

Introducing...Jia Qing...Golden-mane Lion? BUT his hair was not YET gold... So introducing...Black-mane Lion...

欢迎嘉庆... 金毛狮王... 登场。但是这张照片,他还没有染头发... 所以... 欢迎黑毛狮王... 登场。
