Young Taiwan singer to perform mainland shows

He is just 21 year old, but already has two albums under his belt and numerous live concerts in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.

Since Yoga Lin made his first steps to stardom by winning the first season of the One Million Star competition in 2007, a popular reality TV singing contest in Taiwan, he has impressed the fans with his smoothin and dreamy vocals as well as his ability to interpret classic mandarin pop songs.

As the youngest Taiwan singer to perform a solo concert tour, Lin will bring his solo concerts, Yoga Lin Sense Around, to three mainland cities: Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

The mainland concerts are expected to be lavish affairs with elaborate costumes and spectacular stage and lighting effects, but the major draw is still Lin's voice.

"It's great to have solo concerts right after two albums, and I treasure the opportunity. I look forward to jamming with the band, and interacting with the audience through my music," says Lin.

Fans can also expect some chart-busting tunes from the late 80s and early 90s in a tribute to singers such as David Tao and Jacky Cheung, whose music Lin grew up listening to.

His classic songs such as The Gaze and That Very Song, have already become popular songs at KTVs and he was nominated Best Newcomer of 2009 at Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards.
