PR.com (Allison
Kugel): I've been listening to your single, "Gone." I got the CD
at your party, and I love it!
Sun Ho: Thank you. How do
you feel about it compared to "Without Love?" Do you feel like
it's better?
PR.com: The first
version of "Gone" that I listened to was one of the dance mixes,
before I heard the ballad. It has a bit of a different sound. It's
very beautiful and even though it's about losing someone, it's
actually kind of an uplifting song in a strange way. The tone of
your voice is very soothing.
Sun Ho: I wish to do that
through my voice and my music. Everybody goes through that (losing
someone), so…
PR.com: I noticed that
you have a huge fan base in Asia and in other parts of the world
and now for the last few years, you've been crossing over into
English language music and breaking into the U.S. and you seem to
be doing it through the dance charts rather then the pop charts.
Was that something that was deliberate, to do dance music?
Sun Ho: I think
personally, I enjoy dance music a lot. Actually, people ask me,
what is my music style? I think it's um… I really appreciate
Madonna for bringing back the dance music recently. I would say
that my music is very eclectic; so when Justin, my manager, and
Tas and the whole team suggested that maybe I should work on the
dance music first, I was very much for it. It's kind of planned
but it suits me perfectly, because I love it and I feel like it
represents me very well at the same time.
PR.com: You have a
very interesting story, because you started off… you went to Bible
College and you became a pastor… did you found the church that you
currently run?
Sun Ho: (Laughs)
Actually, no. I'm not a pastor, pastor. I'm a counselor. I work
voluntarily in the church of an organization. I am very passionate
in working with kids. So that is what I was doing. And actually
how I was found by the record executive was I was in Taiwan
counseling these people and usually I use music at the same time
when I meet up with them because I really love singing. So he
heard my singing and then he came to me and he thought that I
could make it as a singer and asked me, was I interested? And
everything else was history after that. So, I'm not, like, a
preach
