Show Your Heart Campaign For Japan (Hong Kong)
Hi Everyone! I am Jonathan Wong, a singer-songwriter and dancer-choreographer based in Hong Kong.
I have been in touch with GACKT, a very famous and successful Japanese rock singer and actor. He has started a relief project called "Show Your Heart" soon after the disasters occurred on March 11. GACKT would like to invite artistes from di...Read more
Lately, a certain government policy has been the topic of much heated debate in Hong Kong. Concurrently, my mom’s birthday is fast approaching. It suddenly dawned on me that moms and government actually have a lot in common. Note: I am not trying to make any references to nanny governments.
With my limited knowledge of politics, it would seem that no matter the nature of any particular government policy, one of its keys to popularity is perception - we like policies that have effects we can understand and appreciate...Read more
Here it is! The wait is over! The dance to my latest single 你是哪種人(I.D.)! Let me know what you guys think :DVideo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpqWe4hKgGg
A little while ago, I saw a documentary about the English boy band Take That. It
followed the members of the band as they prepared for their massive comeback
in 2010 after 15 years of being apart. What struck me about this film was its
unique angle on their growth as individuals between the ...Read more
“I never knew Chinese music could be so vibrant, trendy - and so young!”
"This is the natural proclamation of those who attended the HKCO POP concerts. The series returns by popular demand to dazzle and delight with new arrangements of Chinese pop classics, once again proving that music knows no bounds. This year’s concert is another statement of ‘music-making in continuum’, with guest performer Jonathan Wong, singer-composer and one of the rising stars in town, to join the HKCO with his youthful voice, along with funky R&...Read more

A couple of weeks ago, I headed off to Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios near London for a songwriting camp with a host of top-line writers from the UK and US. The camp was led by Grammy award-winning producer Eliot Kennedy (the man who helped create the Spice Girls) and featured the likes of musical legends Gary Barlow of Take That fame, Shaznay Lewis of All Saints, Jodi Marr (Mika, Ricky Martin), a...Read more
Just a couple of weeks ago, we officially announced that I would be signing with record label Avex in Japan and joining the ranks of Ayumi Hamasaki, Exile, V6 and my favorite, Namie Amuro. Although going forth, I will be spending much of my time in Japan, I am by no means leaving Hong Kong and will definitely not let you guys forget about me, haha.
Anyhow, things have been moving quickly since then. Right after Spectrum press conference, I headed straight for Tokyo where I began my first round of work with my new colleagues at Avex.

According to the website, it’s been almost 6 months since my last blog update. Sorry guys! Long time no see!!
On to why I haven’t updated in so long… ever since the beginning of 2010, I’ve been trying to keep my promise of bringing more new music by working hard on my second album “超越东西” (Spectrum). Way back in 2008 when I first started making music with my current producer Chiu Tsang Hei, I had the idea of writing a musical trilogy. The point was to somehow record my growth as a person and as a artist be...Read more
12-1我、Chita 和Fergus一起到了由謝西嘉主持的 "叱咤樂壇lalala" 為大家玩了一場live。有留意我的朋友應該知道我最近跟Chita和Fergus都密密合作,之間的默契也越來越強;所以這一次jam歌真的非常爽。 當日節目錄音時實在很愉快-可以玩自己喜歡的歌,唱完又可以跟幽默的主持一起胡鬧-這樣度過一個下午太好了!大家在收音機/電腦聽見我們的節目都可能會想象一間頗大的band房(起碼我自己上lalala之前是這樣幻想的),但看看以下的照片就可以了解一下真實環境 有facebook的朋友可以在Chita的videos裡重溫我們的演出/訪問 Part1 Part2 P.S. "細軒芝" 是謝西嘉在節目中為我們改的組合名。(聽第一節就會知道它的原頭) 還有還有。。。。聖誕節快樂!!!!:P

11-27我連同今年的樂壇新人出席了 新城09熱捧新星show 。當晚所有歌手除了唱自己歌之外還要准備才藝表演和一首向前輩致敬的歌。我就當然拉小提琴和跳舞啦。 LIVE @ 新城熱捧新星show X 香港演藝人協會晚宴
至於"前輩"歌,我就跟好朋友 Chita 准備了一首medley-結合了陶喆的 "流沙" 和Beyond的 "情人" 。 王梓軒 X 余翠芝 LIVE @ 新城熱捧新星show
雖然那晚的"摸黑"演出有點驚險(Mic pack中途從腰帶飛了出來...!)但也是我第一次滿意自己唱1+1時的表現。我覺得當時的狀態真的跟你們的熱情有很大的關系:)那是我第次看見那麼多的歌迷朋友同時出席一個event。 你們真的讓我太感動了!謝謝!!
