My song “天生一對” just made it to number four on the 903 Radio Charts last week! It was my first time on the charts so I’m super stoked. Thanks to everyone for all the support and big ups to Eric, Jun, Skot, Riley, and Stephen for helping out produce and record the track.

Just a quick thanks to everyone who came out to our acoustic show on Saturday. It was a blast playing the new tunes live and getting the chance to jam with some good friends. The next big show is in ten days for the “Transformer” CD release Party (Dec.18th). It will be at the Vitamin Water showroom in Soho, Central. It’s also going to be an acoustic set so if you’re in the neighborhood please swing by.
This was the first time playing all the tunes from the new CD. Last week the new single “天生一對” also made it onto the Commerical Radio charts. So stoked!
Thanks so much to Masaki, Siu Ming, Adrian, and Janet for doing a great job!
Janice, Pinky, Scott looking out from the panel. A lot of my family from Hawaii and the states were also in town since Scott’s wedding is coming up.
Rob (with Justin and Patrick) who starred in the “天生一對 ” music video came out to support as well. Thanks man!
Actually, a few weeks ago while driving home and looked over at the bus next to me and saw them playing playing the new video too. Here you can see Rob as the cat! haha.

I’ve been a big fan of The London Police for years now and when they came to Hong Kong for the “K Spray” tour in 07 I was super stoked. We got to watch the live painting session and I even got a drawing in my sketch pad. A year later I asked if I can get a piece commissioned and I was totally blown away last month when a big box turned up at my doorstep!
This 50 X 50 canvas piece is easily the coolest thing I have on my wall!
Their main characters are called “lads.”
There’s so much detail and other smaller lads running around the piece that you always notice something new every time you walk by.
Some big pieces from around the world that made people take notice of the TLP. Dope!
The Lad and Dog set from Adfunture.
A new TLP piece from their Stolen Space show in London!

On Halloween afternoon I was asked to play a set during Wild Day Out 09 at the Shatin Racecourse and it was pretty cool. This was my third time paying WDO and I was super stoked since some of my favorite artists were playing and the racecourse was just two minutes from my house. I can literally see and hear the stage from my bedroom window! So here’s some pics I took of that day and I also got some great news to annouce…..my new “Transformer” CD+DVD will be offically released and available on Nov.12 (next week)!! And I’ll also post the new video for “天生一對” on Wednesday too! Stay tuned….
The first group we saw after we got situated was Fama. C Kwan and 6 Wing puts on a great show and always gets the crowd amped.
My slot was around 3pm and I got to let loose some new tunes while being able to see my apartment from the stage…kinda trippy.
Tet (from Positions) and Masaki helped out on the drums & bass today. Thanks guys!
The PM crowd staying strong during the intense heat of the day. By time it got dark the weather was just right.
Also checked out Louis rocking out with Goro, Janet, Masaki, and Sing.
Crowd Lu 盧廣仲 (my favorite Taiwan artist)!!! I got introduced to his album right after it came out and have been a big fan ever since. Earlier this year he played Star Hall and just killed it.
Everyone couldn’t resist taking a pic with him and doing his “Rock” pose. Super nice guy too.
Crowd sounded great but only played four songs while a friend backed him up on the bongos. He also used a sweet Gibson ES-335 like mine but red. Hopefully Crowd will be back to HK soon for another gig. You gotta watch him perform live….the CD just can’t capture his live performance and singing!

Last night we went to the Alivenotdead Halloween party and it rocked! Since last year’s party was a blast we knew we were in for a good time and as always it’s fun seeing how creative everyone can be. Earlier that afternoon I also played the Wild Day Out show and that was pretty awesome too (I’ll update with pics later this week). So now on to the costumes….
This year I decided to go as
Daniel Wu from the movie Shinjuku Incident. Dan himself went as a heavily armed military guy, don’t mess!
Ida and
Scott! Lot’s of people loved his costume as Russell from Pixar’s movie UP.
Andrew was a great Charlie Chaplin!
One of my personal favorites was
Jin and crew as Tsui Wah restaurant employees. Soo dope!
I don’t know who was behind this predator costume but that’s pretty hardcore.
Sean went as Eddie Van Halen and also rocked the mini Les Paul guitar he made!
Go to DMC! Go to DMC! Go to DMC!!!!!
Haven’t seen
Jane since we filmed my video for the single ”
天生一對.” It should be out in a few weeks so check out her awesome role.Rob does a great job in the video as well but not as a crazy Snow White….haha.
All the peeps walking around Central showing off their costumes…
Some billboard signing pics from the media. You can see more pics of the party at
Raffi’s page, also

Hi everyone! Here’s the video for “變形金剛 (Transformer)” the first single off my new EP. The video was directed by CB Fresh and produced by Rob, Scott and Patrick @Creep. Luckily we had a great group of friends who came out to play various roles in the video and also rocked out in the middle of the street with us. I hope you enjoy this video as much as we had fun making it!
“變形金剛 (Transformer)”
This is the “變形金剛” single with lyrics plus song credits that we were giving to the radio stations and promoters.
Derrick and Scott getting things up and ready to shoot!
Simon while being the director also has a cameo with some killer dance moves.
The gang. We pulled everything off with less than a week’s notice and a shoe-string budget so big ups to everyone who helped out and made it possible!
Here’s a sneak preview of the group for the second MV “天生一對” which should be out in another couple of weeks so watch out. It’s got a pretty cool background story courtesy of Rob and Jane!

I just finished recording a couple songs for Commerial Radio this afternoon with my good friend Ella. It must have been the hundredth time we played together and it was a blast. Actually, she was one of the first artists I met when I first came back to Hong Kong in 2004. It’s always nice to catch up and hear her sing. We both played guitar/sang this time around and it was recorded in one take. It should be broadcasted on Friday so check it out if you’re free. On another note, I got a big surprise to post in a couple of days so please stay tuned!
Rehearsing and learning the tunes. Check out the show on Friday!!
