There have been many very good musicians in small Hong Kong, some of them are famous, such as Huang Xia, Gu Jiahui, Huang Jiaju, some are unknown, such as Chen Huiyang, Wu Lecheng, Lei Songde... If you don't talk about the songs they write, you may not know who they are. But when I talk about songs like "The Girl's Prayer", "The Next Stop After Heaven", and "Kind Hearted Breakup", they write songs, and you can't help but give them a thumbs up, and many of them say, "I grew up listening to their songs."
If you only say his Chinese name, there should not be many people who know him, because in the composition column of many songs, his English name appears, and this person is Eric Kwok. Friends who pay attention to Hong Kong music should not be unfamiliar with the name Eric Kwok, but when it comes to his Chinese name Guo Weiliang, there should not be many people who know him.
Maybe there are not many friends who know Guo Weiliang, but there should be many friends who have heard the songs he wrote, and you should have heard one or two of the following songs, right? Jacky Cheung's "There Is a Person" and "I Have You"; Eason Chan's "Happiness Ferris Wheel", "Sunset Infinitely Good", "Best Friend Damaged", "Heavy Taste", Zhejiang Satellite TV's Taiwan song "Dream Sky Extra Blue"; Ye Qianwen's "Wounded Death"; Li Keqin's "Whose Home Falls"; Xie Anqi's "Xi Ti Street"; Joey Yung's "Gorgeous Encounter"; Lin Yilian's "Goodbye sadness"; Liang Yongqi's "Favorite Him"... The songs were written by Eric Kwok.
And there are many heavenly queens who have sung songs written by Eric Kwok, such as Cheung Kwok-wing, Jacky Cheung, Li Ming, Eason Chan, Xu Zhi'an, Li Keqin, Nicholas Tse, Faye Wong, Ye Qianwen, Zheng Xiuwen, Yang Qianwei, Liang Yongqi, Joey Yung... These heavenly queens have sung songs he wrote.
Eric Kwok was born in 1974 to a wealthy family in Hong Kong, and when he was a teenager, his family was forced to move to the United States to avoid debt due to the failure of his father's business. Eric Kwok also began to work hard at that time, saying that his grades had been relatively poor until then.
Eric Kwok returned to Hong Kong after finishing college in the United States to start his music career, at first he and Chen Chul-lu formed the band "Snow Man" to sign to EEI Records, then joined Emperor Records and changed the band name to Swing. In 2002, Guo Weiliang and Chen Zhelu disbanded the band Swing due to different musical concepts.
Eric Kwok later released solo albums as a singer-songwriter, but he wrote songs for other singers more often. Eason Chan is the singer who has cooperated with Eric Kwok the most, Eason Chan said in an interview that Eric Kwok is the musician who knows him best, and Eric Kwok also said that Eason Chan is the singer who understands him the most, he said that the music he makes is often only appreciated by Eason Chan. Not only is Eric Kwok the best partner, but he is also the owner of Eric Kwok, the first artist signed by Eason Chan's personal music brand EAS Music.
Eric Kwok's wife is one of the Emperor's three little flowers, Ye Peiwen, Eric Kwok said that he and his wife fell in love at first sight, and in 2011, Eric Kwok proposed to his girlfriend Ye Peiwen, who had been in love for 11 years, in "Swing After the Indefinite Farewell Concert", and signed the marriage on the spot.
In fact, there are many musicians like Guo Weiliang in Hong Kong, who silently contribute to the music scene. Maybe they stand in front of you and you won't know who they are. But you can't deny that many of us grew up listening to their songs, so we should also thank them for accompanying me through every spring, summer, autumn and winter!
