This week Musician Steve Wong reflects on the birth of his first child

Steve Wong, the younger brother of the late Koma Wong Ka-kui, the former lead singer of the now-defunct Beyond, is often seen by fans as the 'little brother' of the band. His strong-minded brother was the driving force in the band's rise to one of the city's most influential acts.

But two incidents prompted Wong to toughen up. The first was a tragedy: while rehearsing for a TV game show in Tokyo in 1993, Koma fell off the stage, landed on his head and died after six days in a coma.

The second was good news: in March, Wong's son was born.

'He [the baby] enriches my life. In the past, my life was about pursuing the dreams of one person. Now my life is about pursuing the dreams of three people: me, my wife and the baby,' says Wong.

Wong's Mandarin debut Tata was released last month, although he recorded most of the songs in 2006.
