Namewee wrote about the variety of jobs he took on to buy musical equipment and record a demo.
Taiwan-based Malaysian singer Namewee celebrated his 40th birthday on Saturday with a throwback snap of his 20-year-old self, and reflections on his pre-fame days.
In the essay accompanying the caption, the singer wrote in Chinese that at the time the photo was taken, “ working and studying, saving money to make music, writing hundreds of songs, nobody had ever heard of...” “I burnt the recorded demo to CD, copied the addresses of at least 20 or 30 well-known and unknown record companies in Taiwan, and then took the CD from door to door on a motorcycle to deliver it to them. I did it so many times, year after year ... but still nobody cared ....” he added.Namewee said that as someone born under the Taurus astrological star sign, he is stubborn – but added that this same stubbornness has kept him going.
In March 2021, he was flagged by the Malaysian authorities upon his return from Taiwan and taken to the airport’s police station for questioning.
