There You Are Achievement Celebration, Jessie Chung Receives Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry

After wrapping up her radio interviews and launching show in Taiwan, Jessie Chung returned to Malaysia to attend the achievement celebration organized by her record label. Mr. Darren Choy, Managing Director of Warner Music Group Malaysia & Singapore and Chairman of the Recording Industry Association of Malaysia and Mr. Sein Way Tan, Future Entertainment & Music Group Australia representative, presented Jessie with the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry.

What Jessie Chung has achieved with her album There You Are is nothing short of miraculous, she has done the impossible, for a Malaysian artist at least. Her new album has recently shot right up to the most influential and authoritative chart in the Taiwanese music industry, Five Music, debuting at number two on the Top 5 Chart for international albums. Five Music’s Top 5 Chart is the leading Taiwanese music chart and the only chart in Taiwan solely based on album sales. Jessie is confirmed to be the first Malaysian singer to squeeze into this prestigious chart, overtaking Australian artist Sia, who is currently at third place, and placing right next to Lady Gaga, who is barely ahead by two points. Indeed, her album has placed among the works of elite international stars, and this is just the beginning. As the first Malaysian artist placing in Taiwan’s international chart’s top five, Jessie Chung is no doubt Malaysia’s pride and glory!

There You Are has so far sold more than 10,000 copies, and that is already an amazing feat in its own right. To encourage Jessie to soldier on and put on her best fight in next year’s tight schedule, Future Entertainment & Music Group Australia and Warner Music Malaysia honoured her with the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry, ensuring that Jessie’s There You Are will soar on to greater heights!

Managing Director of Warner Music Malaysia, Mr. Choy, expressed that Jessie Chung has been doing an incredible job in the music industry, and her accomplishments so far had been universally recognized. Surprisingly, in less than two months, the music videos for Jessie’s singles “There You Are” and “Drive My Heart” both surpassed a million views on YouTube. As for her third single “Someplace Honest”, it reached 800,000 views in merely a little more than a month. At the currently rate, its view count should be able to shatter the million mark sometime next week, the results will surely be even more surprising and awe-inspiring!

In his speech, Mr. Choy also stated that entering into the international English-speaking music scene is a great challenge per se. Many artists, when faced with adversity, choose to back off and give up, but Jessie is different. She has valiantly overcome so many obstacles, and has successfully become the first Chinese Malaysian to enter into the top three positions of an international English chart.

Unfortunately, Gary, the CEO of Future Entertainment & Music Group Australia couldn’t make it to the achievement celebration. To congratulate Jessie on her achievements and efforts so far this year, he recorded a video for everyone at the celebration to watch. In the video, he revealed that Jessie will be flying to South Africa to promote more of her work in February next year, then fly to Europe and North America for further development.

Jessie Chung expressed that she was astonished and touched upon receiving the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry. Though it’s not an Oscar, it represented her Australian record label and Warner Music Malaysia’s deep love and approval for her, and that means a lot to her. In a self-depreciating joke, she stated that she has been very uncomfortable with her blonde, side swept fringes, and wanted to change her style in the next album. However, her Australian manager insisted for her to keep her blonde hair, since the Taiwanese media is very fond of her golden style. Jessie could do nothing but keep the style at his bidding.

Besides celebrating the astonishing results Jessie and her brand new album has attained, the company also took the chance to appreciate Jessie’s efforts and accomplishments this year. In early 2016, Jessie Chung’s Exquisite Chinese Orchestra Concert had sold out all ten performances in West and East Malaysia and was a hit among the show biz. Her recent stage production Moonlight was also well received by public, and it also had sold out all ten performances around the country. At the same time, a series of campaigns for Jessie in Malaysia and Taiwan were all roaring successes, and launching shows nationwide and abroad, including locations such as Kuala Lumpur, Kuching, Penang, and Taipei, Taiwan, were all completed without a hitch. The events received widespread enthusiasm from fans of all places, crowding up the venues on every occasion.

As for future plans, Jessie Chung stated that her record label has arranged for her eighteen launching shows nationwide, and she will be going to South Africa in February to get her work promoted. Also in April next year, she is set to open two solo concerts, and audiences are estimated to amount over a few thousand. Jessie’s schedule is currently full at the moment, she has to rehearse for her new stage play, Music Box, and prepare for the production of her next album; as a result, her record label has decided to push back the plans for her in China.

As for her next album, Jessie has revealed that her Australian director is determined to capture scenes of her standing on top of a light house in her new music video. At this time, she has already recorded three new songs, and she will travel back to Australia to continue recording and filming her new music video. Her next album is set to be released in January next year. During the celebration, the organizers brought the attendees a surprise when they premiered the music video of “Forever Young”, a single from her next album, causing a wave of excitement and shrieks among the crowd!

Finally, the organizer also gave away an iPhone7, Huawei Honor 8, and a Burberry diamond watch to the lucky winners of the music video giveaway contests of Drive My Heart and Someplace Honest. Jessie Chung International Fan Club members also took the opportunity to give Jessie their presents to congratulate her.

There You Are庆功宴 钟洁希获颁“音乐杰出表现奖”

刚完成台湾各地There You Are宣传通告的钟洁希，今返马参加经纪公司为她举办的庆功宴，在马来西亚与新加坡华纳音乐董事经理蔡经明先生(Mr.Darren Choy)和澳洲未来娱乐暨音乐集团代表（Mr Tan Sein Way）的见证下，获颁“音乐杰出表现奖”。

钟洁希刚推出的新英文专辑《There You Are》在台湾大受欢迎，登上了华人音乐市场最具权威影响力的五大金榜，发售首周勇夺“五大金榜”亚军宝座，名次翻过了澳洲一姐希雅(Sia)，成绩仅输美国一姐卡卡(Lady Gaga)区区2分，与冠军插肩而过。

“五大金榜”是五大唱片在台湾第一个也是唯一以纯“唱片销售量”作为榜单依据之音乐排行榜。据悉，钟洁希是有史以来唯一能够闯入国际西洋乐坛金榜的大马歌手，成为了大马的荣耀！

据统计，钟洁希新英文专辑《There You Are》目前的总销量已突破1万张，澳洲未来娱乐暨音乐集团及大马华纳音乐为了鼓励洁希在未来紧密的宣传活动越战越勇，特别颁发“音乐杰出表现奖”力挺洁希的《There You Are》大碟可以继续冲刺！

华纳音乐董事经理蔡先生表示，钟洁希最近在音乐上的好成绩有目共睹。 令人惊喜的是，不过短短的2个月，洁希新专辑第一主打歌“There You Are”和第二主打歌“Drive My Heart”都突破了一百万的点击率。至于第三主打歌“Someplace Honest”才上传一个月，就已达到八十万的点击率，相信在下周就能突破百万，成绩令人鼓舞！

“想要进军国际英文乐坛，这是一件很挑战的事。我见过很多艺人在面对困难时，都会选择退却放弃。但是，洁希却勇敢地战胜了种种困难，成为了第一个闯入国际西洋歌曲排行榜三强的大马华裔歌手。”

由于澳洲未来娱乐暨音乐集团总裁Gary无法出席今天的庆功宴，但为了祝贺洁希这一年的努力，他特意录制了祝贺短片，并给大家带来了好消息：洁希将会在明年二月份飞往南非宣传，之后再从南非出发，飞往欧美发展。

钟洁希领获“音乐杰出表现奖”过后，表示感到非常意外和感动。虽然这不是奥斯卡大奖，但它却是澳洲公司和大马华纳对她的爱戴和肯定，意义非凡。她还自嘲自己不习惯成为“金丝猫”，很想在下一张专辑改变照型，但是澳洲老板却执意坚持要金发，而且台湾的媒体朋友都很喜欢她的金发照型，她只好“唯命是从”。

除了庆祝新专辑所创下的优秀成绩，经纪公司也借此机会祝贺洁希2016年年头至今，在大马巡回的10场《倾城国色》华乐演唱会及10场《月光》舞台剧皆演出成功，并且获得公众好评和欢迎。此外，公司安排的签唱会都获得热烈反应，包括吉隆坡、古晋、槟城、台湾西门町等。

至于未来的行程，钟洁希表示公司已为她安排了全国巡回18场的签唱会，并会在4月份在马来西亚举办两场千人演唱会。目前，公司为她安排的通告已经满档，除了要进行舞台剧《音乐盒》的彩排，还要筹备新专辑的制作，所以公司暂时延后了中国的宣传发展。

至于下一张专辑，洁希透露说澳洲导演已为她安排在灯塔顶楼拍摄新MV。目前她已录好了3首新歌，之后还要飞往澳洲继续录音及MV拍摄，预计在明年一月份正式发行。当天，主办方也给大家带来惊喜，预先播出了新专辑的主打歌之一“Forever Young”MV，引起来宾们的一阵欢呼喧哗！

最后，主办方也同时颁发iPhone7、Huawei Honor 8 和 Burberry 钻石名表给You Tube mv 有奖竞赛的幸运得奖者。而钟爱洁希国际歌友会代表也送上祝贺礼，共享喜悦。

Jessie Chung's New Album Builds up a Head of Steam, Album Debuts at No. 2 on Five Music Chart

A force to be reckoned with, Jessie Chung’s new “Bond girl” persona is unstoppable and continues to engulf the world in flames!

Jessie Chung’s new English album There You Are has recently busted into the most influential and authoritative chart in the Taiwanese music industry, Five Music, debuting at number two on the Top 5 Chart for international albums. Five Music’s Top 5 Chart is the leading Taiwanese music chart and the only chart in Taiwan solely based on album sales.

Jessie Chung, who has been promoting her album in Taiwan and Australia, has become the flavor of the month with the Taiwanese media, and the sales for her album There You Are have reached astonishing heights in the recent weeks. Her single from the album the same name, “There You Are” reached 1 million views on YouTube; it seems that surprises just keep rolling in for the promising singer.

In addition, Jessie Chung has caused waves of excitement at the Taiwanese music industry, and has become a hot topic in the Taiwanese entertainment industry. Not only did she accept exclusive interviews from the Taiwanese mainstream media such as Liberty Times with KiKi Hu, she also became headline news for many entertainment news such as Apple Daily, United Daily News Group, and China Times.

While promoting her album in Taiwan, she was invited to many radio stations, getting interviewed by Do Zi, Wu Da Ru, Wu Jian Heng, and Zi Han on Broadcasting Corporation of China, and Zhu Wei Yin and Guang Yu on UFO Corporation. Other radio stations and online shows that Jessie was invited to include: Police Broadcasting Service, LaTogetherLive on RC Show, Best Radio, I Love Asia Fm, i Radio, PTT Radio, Cheng Sheng Broadcasting Corp., Pop Radio, KissRadio, Hit FM, Super FM, Lucky 7 FM, City FM, M-Radio, etc.; Jessie was also invited to the Queermosa Awards.

 “Reinventing” herself, Jessie Chung has attained higher horizons in the entertainment industry, and the stage is set for her to come out with another breakthrough in the near future.

Jessie Chung Performs in Sexy Dress at Ximending, Taiwan

   

Jessie Chung’s brand new album There You Are has recently gone gold in Taiwan, leading to a series of promotional events to reach toward a wider audience. Not only did she get her album endorsed at the album release press conference on October 24^th, Jessie Chung also performed at the Taiwan Ximending Launching Show on October 30^th, donning a sexy, ebony, see-through dress embroidered with gold. With her full-flowing, lush, golden hair, no wonder the press hailed her as a “Bond girl” look-alike.

Performing four songs at her launching show in Taiwan, she sincerely opened with “There You Are”, a touching ballad, and subsequently drove the crowd wild with “Drive My Heart”, an explosive rock anthem. Her showing off of her new dance moves and the fantastic interaction between her and her male dancers induced the screams and shouts of the Taiwanese fans below the stage. 

Her husband Joshua stayed below the stage to accompany her and take pictures of her, causing her much embarrassment when her team of dancers picked her up on stage, but she kept her composure as she beamed a shy smile. Jessie Chung spent more than a year in Australia to prepare for this album; under the plans devised by her Australian record company, she took on the so-called “Bond girl” style, despite her initial fears of the radical change. Changing her hairstyle from blunt bangs to side-swept fringe caused her significant insecurity, and she’s still getting used to it.

Jessie Chung reveals that “There You Are” is dedicated to the two most important men in her life, the memory of her father, and her husband Joshua. She recalls that her father passed away while she was promoting her previous album. Not being able to see her father at his deathbed, Jessie Chung wanted to use this song to thank him. The song is also dedicated to her husband for being besides her at all times. “Spend enough time to appreciate the people around us, that will save us a lot of regret when the final goodbye comes,” she says emotionally when asked about the past.

Besides performing her new songs, Jessie Chung also had great interaction with her fans, giving away James Bond-esque aviator sunglasses and heaps of exclusive heart shaped pillows to give her fans a great experience. While signing autographs, many enthusiastic fans gave Jessie and her team their praises, they were all satisfied by the electrifying event. She states that her first time in Taiwan was an unforgettable experience, and she looks forward to party again with her fans next time. Jessie Chung also reveals that her tight schedule in Taiwan has prevented her from tasting Taiwanese delicacies. She plans to wander through the night market with her husband upon completing the launching show and have an authentic taste of Taiwanese cuisine. 

After changing her gender identity, Jessie Chung has received a fair amount of cyber-bullying. Even till this day, ignorant netizens still attempt to verbally abuse her, such as questioning her singing talents. Regarding these criticisms, Jessie has shrugged them off and said, “The fact that whether or not I sing well is decided by my fans; as long as my fans like it, that’s enough for me; as long as they like it, that makes me happy and content.”  Jessie Chung states, “Although I feel hurt, these harsh criticisms only make me stronger and allow me to stand up and prove my motivation.” She’s very optimistic, and believes that words of encouragement and constructive criticisms alike are all helpful to her, as long as the words are spoken with sincerity.

钟洁希台湾西门町 性感开唱

钟洁希推出英文专辑“There You Area 你还在”，在台湾进行了一系列的宣传。除了在10月24日举办专辑发布会待会外，10月30日化身庞德女郎，顶着一头金色长发，套上黑金相间的小礼服性感现身台湾西门町签唱会。

诚意十足带来抒情歌“There You Are”以及摇滚主打“驾驭我心Drive My Heart”等4首歌曲，首次来台签唱，也首度秀舞步，与猛男舞团性感互动，台下热情歌迷尖叫声不断。

钟洁希花了1年多在澳洲筹备该专辑，在澳洲唱片公司计划下，挑战庞德女郎劲装造型，顶着一头旁分金发，让她直呼没了浏海好没安全感。

钟洁希透露，“There You Are”是献给生命中两个最重要的男人，父亲与先生约书亚。她忆及去年宣传上个作品时，父亲离世，无缘见他最后一面，钟洁希想透过歌表达对父亲的感谢及先生的不离不弃，她感性的说，“大家要珍惜身边的人，不要等失去后才后悔。”

喜爱台湾美食与人文的她，大赞台湾“太美”，谈及昨天举办的同志大游行，钟洁希说，爱是不分性别的，能自由表达多元性别是很好的事，并笑喊“台湾人太幸福了”，表示社会开放程度和家乡马来西亚有很大的差异。

除了演唱新歌外，钟洁希也跟现场粉丝玩互动，赠送此次庞德系列的造型墨镜，让现场粉丝玩得超开心，在签名时也碰到许多热情粉丝的大力称赞，让钟洁希直说很难忘在台湾的第一次，也期待下次与粉丝再欢聚；钟洁希并表示，此次来台行程紧凑，没时间享用台式小吃，签唱会结束后，趁空档想跟老公逛夜市，大啖台湾美食！

跨性别的身份，让钟洁希遭受过不少霸凌，至今也还有网路攻击言论，像是质疑她的歌艺，她率性回说，“我会不会唱歌是由我的歌迷来决定的，只要我的歌迷喜欢那就够了，就是很幸福的事情。」对于不同声音，钟洁希表示：“虽然会觉得受伤，但这些批评也是她一直努力站起来、证明自己的动力。”她乐观看待，认为不管是鼓励的话或建议的话，只要是真心的她都会虚心接受。
