Win Wu YanHong (Chinese: 吳彥宏) is a Taiwan-based Indonesian Singer-Songwriter, actor, model, and presenter. He debuted in 2002 as a member of quartet band Four Seasons - the first mandarin boyband in Indonesia.[1][2] The band was then signed under Universal Music Indonesia

Personal life[edit]

Win Wu YanHong’s passion in performing arts anchored in fond memories of his trips to cinemas with his belated father. “When I was a child, father and I used to walk to cinema (about 10-15minutes walk) and watched Andy Lau movies. There and then all I wanted is to be like him, a singer and actor; a multi-talented performer.”.[3]

It is a baffling ambition considering he grew up as ethnic minority in the most populous Muslim country in the world during an era where being Chinese is frowned upon. After May 1998 riots in Indonesia where Chinese descendants were targeted victims, Socio-political democratization took place.[2] And that's when Win Wu had his chance to break in to the entertainment industry; as a member of Indonesia's very first Mandarin boyband that made it into recording company.

Career[edit]

Singer & Songwriter[edit]

Win Wu YanHong first debuted as a member of quartet boyband Four Seasons - Indonesia’s first Mandarin boyband under Universal Music Indonesia in 2002, riding in the wave of F4 Mandopop craze in early 2000. Although referred to as boyband, on the contrary to common boyband and pop-band practises, members of Four Seasons composed their own songs. In the album Tian Zi (天子) (released in 2007), the members composed a total of 8 out of 10 tracks.[4]

He then took a huge leap of moving to Taiwan in 2011. It was a bumpy ride in adopting Mandarin as first language.[3] Overcoming the language barrier, Win Wu manage to write a number of mandarin songs lyrics for fellow Indonesian Mandarin singer Alena Wu[5] namely Cherry Blossom[6] and Seindah Diriku.[7] Including duet that Win Wu sang with Alena Wu :Thank You 谢谢 [8] and A Minute of Hope (一分鐘的希望) (2011);[9] a song meant to encourage people who are struggling to achieve their dream, inspired by his own personal struggle.

Win Wu also wrote lyrics for his original single track titled Going Home 回家 (2018).[10]
