　　在如今“华语”市场“偶像当道”的主潮流中,黄义达无疑是一个全新人物。他超越了市场的种种“成规”。不论在外型还是在音乐定位上,这个全新面孔都不是任何市场公式可以轻易“定义”的。

　　MOST pop stars are used to hearing the screams of crowds of girls. But when Yida Huang(黄义达) did his morning exercises, the “wows” and whistles all came from other guys.

　　Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. The 24-year-old new talent from Sony Music shared a teacher with Stefanie Sun (Yanzi). He also shares Sun’s smile, which has earned him the nickname “the male Yanzi”.

　　Once he opens his mouth, though, there is no question that Huang is a man. He is only 172cm tall and weighs just 50 kilograms, but his strong and powerful voice can cross the boundaries of rock’n’roll, classical and pop music.

　　His first album, Hard to Define (《无法定义》), which was released on April 21, is a positive sign of things to come from this Singapore native.

　　But if a boyfriend of his sister’s hadn’t given him a guitar on his 15th birthday, his talent might never have been realized.

　　“I was so confused about my future because everyone thought going to university was the only way I would achieve a good life,” he said. “But that day, I suddenly realized music should be my destiny. Then I set off on that path.”

　　He spent a whole year alone teaching himself how to use the in-strument. He also spent hours listening to records and practising playing the tunes until he could play them back.

　　One year later, his talent was discovered by an entertainment company. He hasn’t looked back.
