Eason Chan

Eason Chan is unavoidable if you talk about Hong Kong pop, and rightly so. Born in 1974 and educated at Kingston University, he's one of the most influential voices in both Cantopop and Mandopop, with a reputation for live performances that are ridiculously consistent. He swallows ballads and uptempo numbers alike with that one elastic voice, and dabbles in acting too. Even as someone who doesn't speak Cantonese, the melodies get to me, which tells you the voice carries past any language barrier. There's a settled, almost philosophical ease about him now that only comes from staying at the top for decades.

Eason Chan Yick-shun (simplified Chinese: 陈奕迅; traditional Chinese: 陳奕迅; pinyin: Chén Yìxùn; Jyutping: Can4 Jik6 Seon3; Cantonese Yale: Chàhn Yihk Seun; born 27 July 1974) is a Hong Kong singer and actor. He is one of the most popular and influential singers in both Cantopop and Mandopop.
