A gentle soul, a musical genius singer songwriter, a daring unique progressive artist
He has the talent to express any message and feelings he wants to convey in music. Daring and innovative, he is not afraid to be who he is. Young, Hua Chenyu is not your typical pop singer because he is an artist, a creative musician, composer, a storyteller.
Unconventional, yet he has a strong command over his audience, predominantly young. His music mostly his compositions strikes a chord with them. Versatile, he can swing from ballad, to pop, hard rock, rap to spoken word. His sad songs make you cry, his angsty songs make you mad. His upbeat melodies hype you up. Even his outfits are outrageous challenging norms making a statement he is not mainstream.
Hua Hua actively uses his hands; hands to pound on the keyboard, right hand to cover his face and to point and to mesmerize his audience. His hands create music; his right-hand casts a spell.
He rouses his young audience to the stimulus he sends either in ballad, rock, pop, in Chinese or English, piano or full orchestra, traditional ancient Chinese or modern in hybrid format, sitting down, moving and in whatever position. They sing along with him, move with him immediately upon engagement.
Hua Hua created and defined a new genre which connects. When music touches you, it taps your core, opens you up, disabling you setting you up in an unexplainable state.
Hua Hua, a confessed introvert creates music from his sensitivity to feelings visualized in an imagery followed by an associated melody. From this cycle, he assembles and composes the song. A number of his songs are in the Top Billboard Chart in China.
Backstage, he is unassuming. On stage he commands a powerful presence with his performance, choice of music and storytelling. Hua Hua is one of the top influential personalities in China today. Ticket sales to his big concerts sell out in minutes. He is an advocate of the fight against depression.
Hua Hua placed 2nd to Jessie J. in The Singer 2018. He has fondness for KZ Kandingan who he met at the competition.

I followed the epic's story unfold without a souvenir program understanding the profound Indian epic message and appreciating the spectacular theatrical production. At home without the threat of the virus, I was already awed at the spellbinding work of creative art, the mesmerizing and stunning war scene and dramatic closing, more so had I experienced it at the front row of Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater.
