Profile

Name: William Wei/韋禮安 aka Weibird

Age: 23

Education: Foreign Language Major at National Taiwan University

Record Company: 福茂唱片/Linfair Records

Bio: Taiwanese singer-songwriter Weibird won first place in a Variety TV Show "Happy Sunday"'s End of The Year Talent Contest, but he didn't rush for a quick launch to pop stardom. Instead, the guy opted to stay out of the limelight, concentrating on his studies while composing for other singers and performing in pubs. Still, he has garnered considerable popularity online thanks to his songwriting works. He tested water in March 2009 with an EP, after which he completed a mini-tour to packed houses throughout Taiwan. Fresh out of college, he release his debut album in June of 2010.

*He has already received his notice to serve in the military. He will officially enlist November 22nd 2010. So I guess no more new music from him for a while. ):

I'm a huge Khalil and Crowd fan and I would highly recommend this cute singer/songwriter newbie. My personal favorite is "有沒有/Have You Ever"; it never fails to give me the chills. Like the judges commented when he was competing on Happy Sunday, his voice is incredibly strong and distinct. I would also suggest watching the WeiTV episodes on his Youtube channel. You get a behind the scenes look of him on tour and at the company. It's scripted but funny without being cheesy. Overall, he is definitely a rookie to lookout for!

William Wei aka Weibird just realease MVs for both 兩腳書櫥的逃亡/The Bookends' Escape and 陰天的向日葵/Sunflower on a Cloudy Day! The latter being a touching animated short film esque style.

He release both of these MVs within the span of only one week, adding to the already 4 MVs he has off of his debut album.

It is an amazing feat for a rookie to have 6 MVs off of his mere debut.

It seems like his company likes to make MVs almost as much as Jay Chou lol.

I really like his song "you mei you"

I think he's quite similar to khalil and yen-j in a way.

I think they all went to the U.S for a period to study as well?

[squishysushi]

oh, no! He's entering the military that soon?! I was hoping to be able to see him live when I go to Taiwan this winter In any case, I have faith that he'll be around for a long time. The debut album is amazing!
