HE is a singer cum songwriter who has scooped the best male singer and the best composing awards in Singapore and Malaysia.

Not only does he have a charming voice, but also the ability to compose music and write lyrics. His name is Eric Moo Chii-yuan.

Moo started his music career in Singapore in 1983 when he was still a student. It was the time when local production just began to win attention.

''There was no commercial support at that time. I did some composing, producing and back-up vocal work and saved enough money to release my own album,'' said Moo.

Moo finds that the three tasks - music composition, lyric-writing and singing - can hardly be separated.

''I enjoy the whole process of production. Everything just links together in a way that makes the work complete.'' After 10 years of enthusiasm and hard work, Moo has made his name in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan.
