Khalil Fong (Chinese: 方大同) was born on 14 July 1983. He is an American born, Hong Kong-based soul Mandopop singer-songwriter signed to Warner Music Hong Kong.

Biography[link]

Fong was born in Hawaii and his family moved to Shanghai when he was 6. His father, Les Fong (an American-born Chinese from San Francisco, California), wanted Khalil to learn more about Chinese culture. Six years later, they moved to Guangzhou and lived there for about 2 years. Afterwards, they moved to Hong Kong.

Khalil is self-taught on the guitar and piano, beginning from the ages of 15 and 18 respectively. It was also around this time that he started writing songs and sending demos to music producers. Warner Music Hong Kong finally recruited him as a producer. Khalil follows the Bahá'í Faith.^[1]

In 2005, he had his first CD “Soulboy” released on Warner Records HK label. On December 29, 2006, Khalil released his second album “This Love”(愛愛愛).

Musical influences[link]

His favorite music genres are Soul, Neo-Soul, Jazz, 50's Doowop and Rock.

Musicians that have influenced Khalil's style:

• Singers: Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, D'Angelo, Steely Dan, N.E.R.D

• Producers: R. Kelly, Babyface

• Soul singers: Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind & Fire

• Neo-Soul Artistes: Glenn Lewis, Musiq

• Jazz Artistes: Bill Evans, Chet Baker, John Coltrane.

• 50's Artistes: Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, Jackie Wilson

Career[link]

Although based in Hong Kong, his career and popularity grew in Taiwan. This is because his songs are sung in Mandarin rather than Cantonese. When asked, Khalil explained that Mandarin was his second language, next to English, and that he could express himself better in Mandarin rather than Cantonese. His albums are released by Warner Music Taiwan in Taiwan.

In addition to his own songs, Khalil Fong has also composed songs for other artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan, such as Amei Chang, Eason Chan, Fiona Sit, Andy Lau, Shiga Lin and Jacky Cheung.

Warner Music (2005 to present)[link]

Khalil released his debut album Soul Boy on September 18, 2005. He has won a number of awards, including a silver award for New Male Artist at Commercial Radio. He released his second album "This Love" in December 2006. It featured one of his more popular song Love Love Love. Love Love Love wasn't an immediate hit, though. It turned out to be a sleeper hit, only gaining recognition after his third album Wonderland was launched. Wonderland's music style marked a leave from his previous albums. It featured funkier tunes rather than the slower ballads of his previous albums.

Khalil's fourth album Orange Moon was released in December 2008. It featured slower, more conventional love ballads. In an interview Khalil said that this album (Orange Moon) was meant to be a more romantic album, with most of the songs love themed.

Khalil released a cover album Timeless in August 2009. It featured songs by various singers which, according to him, influenced his music. Among the songs are You are the Sunshine of My Life by his childhood idol Stevie Wonder, Bad by Michael Jackson.

Khalil has released another album, 15, on April 21, 2011. His first new song, 好不容易 (Finally), has already been released to the public in honor of his friend's recent marriage.^[2]
