Oliver Ching , a 23-year-old self-taught musician and student at City University of Hong Kong, will release his third album through indie label 89268 later this year.
Recording all his albums at home, Oliver epitomises the spirit of DIY music.
'For a start, you have to invest a certain amount to upgrade your computer and purchase microphones and stuff. But you can use this equipment for a long time, producing maybe another 10 albums with them,' said Oliver.
Having all the necessary instruments and equipment already, Oliver's second album Freddie & King, which was released last year, cost him only about $3,500.
'Producing an album in Hong Kong is now an easy thing to do,' he said.
If you are talented and good-looking, you can sign to a music label, just like 20-year-old singer-songwriter Ahy Choi (pictured above).
