Singer Juno Mak
Since Juno Mak started out as a singer in 2002,he has been plagued by scandals involving bribery and prepaid fans. He talks about how he weathered the jeers to come back with a new album.
I was born in 1984, in a family of four.
My brother and I lived in a Cantopop-free environment until we moved back to Hong Kong when I was about 10. Until then, we were living on a mountain in Vancouver.
I was born rich – what’s wrong with that? I never deny that my childhood was a privileged one.
Talent is like a rumor. You hear about it from friends, but you’re never sure about it.
Being an 18-year-old is about asking “why not?” rather than “why?”
I won a singing contest, so my friends sent in a demo to the record companies. I quit school to join Universal in 2002.
No news is the only bad news. Tabloids and gossip are the industry leaders.
Never put oil on fire. Never justify a rumor with another.
