JUDE 曾若華 JUDE was born on 5th September 1992 in Hong Kong. She moved to England for her studies when she was 8. At the age of 18, she studied Fashion Photography at London College of Fashion. In 2013, Jude sent in demos she wrote to Warner Music Hong Kong which then landed her a contract signed as an artist. In July 2015, her 1st debut single "Glasgow" is released. The song bears a different style with alternative rock arrangement - bringing a breath of fresh air to the Hong Kong music scene. Being located amidst London's rich music culture, JUDE was influenced by different kind of music and concerts during her time in England, and she started photographing for bands during live performances. She was encouraged to pick up a guitar after listening Avril Lavigne and Michelle Branch's music. At the age of 17, she began to write her own materials and uploaded covers on YouTube.  Siu Yuen 楊智遠香港獨立唱作人，其創作源於身邊事物誘發的一種自我探討。 2015年透過音樂眾籌平台推出首張 EP 《給自己》，嘗試透過音樂探討不同面向的自己。過往幾年間，Siu Yuen也為電視節目製作主題曲，當中包括港台電視31《全民動起來》，Viutv 《餸情》等等。在音樂創作以外，亦曾以現場伴奏身分參與浪人劇場的劇作《心林》，又以演員身份參與一鋪清唱的《這夜免收人頭費》。  Rootless VoyagersRootless Voyagers features pianist Joshua Lam, drummer Eaton Lam, double bassist Nelson Fung and guitarist Brian Mok. Originally, the four players are all members of Kong U Big Band. Yet, they have a strong desire to explore jazz beyond the orchestrated format of a big band. Hence, they decided to form a quartet in order to seek for a space where they can express their own vision of the music.  M. DuCurrently based in Hong Kong, M.Du’s natural habitat is in the 7th chord. Drawing his inspirations from Neo-Soul, alternative Hip-Hip, R&B and Post-Bop movements, M.Du embarks on his quest on finding a unique sonic pallet. Recently due to mysterical natural-spiritual forces M.Du has been a keen follower of the transcendental. His new quest is to discover music that resonates well with other homo-sapiens. Rigorous and Vigorous are the adjectives for him. Graduated as an Architectural student in the University of Hong Kong, he has his own understanding about soundscape and acoustic field. M.Du has been participating jobs such as ad arranging and mixing, while he plays live at major cities such as Hong Kong and Shanghai. To him, nothing is as refreshing and liberating as the chemical reaction between musicians while improvising. M.Du joined Eating Music in 2018, and continues his journey with keen minded peeps. |
