曹格

Born in Malaysia, 曹格 (Gary Cao, Cao Ge) did not intend on becoming a singer but considered becoming a teacher or landing a stereotype job.
It was only after listening to "Superwoman" whilst studying in Canada at nine years of age, that he began to be interested in music.
After his move to Taiwan, he began composing his own songs, which were eventually well-accepted, not without hardships however. Many music producers criticized his style of music, stating that no artist would sing his songs. After monitoring the movement of various music styles, he slowly moved from a very western R&B style to what is now a mix of R&B and oriental style of music.
He once commented during the course of music creation: "I started writing music because I wanted to sing songs that are beautiful and nice."
