The Voice was a huge success and the participants instantly became famous, how do you deal with the pressure and criticism?
There was a lot of criticism when The Voice first started, maybe Hong Kong people simply like criticising others without reason. All the contestants were facing similar criticism, but we were united as a group. We shared our feelings with each other and this helped reduce the stress. We understood that some people were criticising us on purpose, while others were really giving us constructive opinions. It is really important to know how to distinguish them, otherwise, it can destroy your confidence. I didn't really know what to expect, I just wanted to show my talent. I didn't know whether people would like my style so I just did what I know how to do and I am pleased to know that some people like to listen to my songs.
You now split your time between playing golf and singing, do you think this will affect your performance on the course?
You never know what will happen in entertainment so there are not many plans made in advance. It is not like playing golf when you know when the next tournament will be and you can practice more to ensure you perform. In the entertainment industry, I always need to be ready because you never know what will happen tomorrow, but there are distractions for sure. From the beginning to the end, The Voice is a large project. However, as long as I am able to balance my time well and I can focus, I am confident I can achieve the right results. I won the Hong Kong Junior Open last summer even though I had joined The Voice and my results since have also been satisfactory.
