Raymond Lam Fung, 29, is already an A-lister on local television, having starred in more than 20 Cantonese dramas, including the highly popular The Drive of Life (2007) and Moonligh Resonance (2008). The actor, however, says singing is his true passion. Next week Lam will finally realise hise dream with debut concert at the Coliseum.
When did you first get hooked on music?
Music is what I have truly loved isnce I was a child. My singing teacher inspired me the most. And like many young people my age, I grew up listening to Jacky Cheung Hok-yau's hit songs; he is my all-time favourite singer. I also studied music at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
if music is your first love, why didn't you start off as a singer?
When I was 16, I was approached by a record label but at the time I was too young and I needed to continue my studies. A few years later when I was ready to begin a career in music, the indstry was being hit hard by music piracy, so I chose acting to kick-start my career. Gradually, acting has become my other strength and given my career a solid foundation. Honestly, I hadn't dreamed about staging my own concert for years.
Your concert is opening in less than a week. How are you feeling right now?
I have seen a lot of other people's concerts, but now it is finally my turn. I am anxious, excited, scared and ecstatic at the same time, but I am not going to let my feelings affect my performance. I want to show people what my true passion is about on that stage.
