中国与新加坡两国有诸多交集,音乐便是其中之一。
Many Singaporean singers have pursued their musical career both at home and here in the Chinese mainland, as well as in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
许多新加坡歌手不仅在国内发展音乐事业,还将其扩展到中国内地、香港和台湾。
Here are just a few.
例如,下面几位:
1.Kit Chan
1.陈洁仪
Singaporean singer Kit Chan has worked in many areas since her debut in 1993, including music, theater, television, composing, creative direction, community work and even entrepreneurship. Chan is without a doubt the most successful singer in Singapore, as she enjoys the title of Singapore's "national treasure" in music.
自1993年出道以来,新加坡歌手陈洁仪曾在多个领域发展,包括:音乐、戏剧、电视剧、作曲、创意指导、社区工作,甚至还曾是企业家。毫无疑问,陈洁仪是新加坡最成功的歌手,被誉为新加坡“国宝级歌手”。
Chan has enjoyed success in Taiwan and Hong Kong more than she did in the Chinese mainland, until she participated in the hit television show I am a singer earlier this year. Her years of theater training and delicate and smooth vocals became an immediate sensation among viewers.
此前,陈在内地的发展,并不如其在港台地区那么顺利。直到今年初参加热门电视节目《我是歌手》。她多年唱歌剧的经验,使其细腻、柔和的唱腔引起听众的共鸣。
2.Stefanie Sun
2.孙燕姿
Since her debut in 2000, Stefanie Sun has become one of the most widely recognized voices from Singapore in the Chinese mainland. With 11 albums under her belt, Sun is arguably the most successful singer from Singapore, second only to Kit Chan, whose talent is somewhat under-recognized. Sun was named Best Newcomer for her song Cloudy Day at the 12th Golden Melody Award, Taiwan's equivalent to the Grammys. Sun has sold more than 10 million albums in Asia.
自2000年出道以来,孙燕姿早已成为内地最知名的新加坡歌手。孙燕姿共发行了11张专辑,不可否认,她是新加坡最成功的歌手之一,仅次于陈洁仪。而后者的才华在内地未受到充分认可。孙燕姿曾凭借《天黑黑》一举夺得有台湾格莱美奖之称的第12届金曲奖最佳新人奖。其唱片总销量在亚洲超过1000万张。
Sun married Dutch-Indonesian entrepreneur Nadim Van Der Ros on May 8, 2011, and gave birth to their first child on Oct 30, 2012.
2011年5月8日,孙燕姿与荷兰籍印尼裔企业家纳迪姆结婚,并于2012年10月30日诞下他们第一个孩子。
3.JJ Lin
3.林俊杰
JJ Lin has enjoyed commercial success ever since he stepped into the world of music. Lin won Best New Artist for his debut album Music Voyager at the 15th Golden Melody Awards. A decade later, he took home the title as Best Male Performer, a high honor from the Golden Melody Awards.
林俊杰一步入乐坛便取得商业成功。他曾凭其首张专辑《乐行者》获得第15届台湾金曲奖最佳新人奖。10年之后,他又一举拿下台湾金曲奖最佳国语男歌手奖。
34-year-old JJ Lin is recognized for his talents in not just singing, but in composition. Besides producing numbers by himself, Lin has written songs for various recording artists, including Remember for Taiwan-based singer A-Mei, Let Go for fellow Singaporean singer A-Do, and What's Wrong with You? for Harlem Yu.
34岁的林俊杰不仅唱歌天赋极佳,还擅长作曲。除了为自己写歌,他还为多位歌手写过歌,包括:台湾歌手张惠妹的《记得》;同为新加坡歌手阿杜的《放手》,及庾澄庆的《干嘛你看不爽我?》
4.Jocie Kwok
4.郭美美
Jocie Kwok was the first artist to be granted copyright to sing Mouse Loves Rice, a song that took China by the storm in 2004. Her first album, No More Panic, attained platinum status with its sales worldwide.
郭美美是首个获权翻唱《老鼠爱大米》的歌手,这首歌在2004年风靡全中国。她的首张专辑《不怕不怕》全球销量超过100万张,成为白金唱片。
Kwok, whose Chinese name is pronounced Guo Meimei, suffered greatly after an Internet celebrity by the same name stirred a large scandal affiliated with the Red Cross. Though the two are in no way related to one another, the impact from the Red Cross scandal was so big that it cut down 70 percent of Kwok's commercial activities.
郭因为其中文名郭美美与网络红人郭美美同名,在后者被曝光与红十字会的巨大丑闻后,备受牵连。尽管这二人毫无联系,却因为红十字会丑闻的巨大影响,使得歌手郭美美的商业活动被削减了70%。
5.Tanya Chua
5.蔡健雅
Singaporean singer Tanya Chua did not rise to prominence until she signed with Warner Music Taiwan in 2003. Her album Amphibian won her a Best Female Artist at the Golden Melody Awards. Chua has also made a name for herself in production, as she has written a number of hit songs for Gigi Leung, Faye Wong and Stefanie Sun.
此前,新加坡歌手蔡健雅不温不火,直到2003年签约台湾华纳唱片。她凭借专辑《双栖动物》获得最佳国语女歌手奖。蔡健雅也因其创作才能闻名,她曾为著名歌手梁咏琪、王菲和孙燕姿写过许多歌。
