Feng E is a young musical sensation (born in 2007) from Taiwan. His notoriety continues to skyrocket through his various ʻukulele covers of popular music with over 600K YouTube subscribers and millions of views. His expert renditions and his straight-forward “can do” attitude has turned the heads and stolen the hearts of some of the biggest stars in the world
How It All Began:
The reason Feng E took up the instrument in the first place was because his kindergarten teacher had discovered that his finger development was slow; he couldn’t draw a straight line or form a ball out of clay. His father tried to get him to play the piano, but the youngster lacked both interest and aptitude. When his father introduced him to the ukulele, he also resisted. But his father eventually found a way to convince him to practice: he offered to play Legos with him after each lesson, and it worked..
Accomplishments:
To date, Feng E has mastered five musical instruments, starting with the piano at the age of four. He also has numerous compositions to his name. Although he has struggled to keep up in music class at school, Feng E has become a star in the world of ukulele music, performing and winning competitions around the world, in places like Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, China, and Hawaii. On Asia’s Got Talent (2017), he was the only competitor to get the Golden Buzzer from producer David Foster. In 2018, a video of Feng E playing Tommy Emmanuel’s arrangement of Mason William’s work, Classical Gas, with a ukulele in the park area of Taipei has nearly 20 million views. Owing to the viral video, Feng E was invited to The Ellen DeGeneres Show to play for a worldwide audience. He has since been on Ellen’s show twice (2018 and 2019).
And in 2020, Feng E made it to the quarter-finals of America’s Got Talent.
Feng E continues composing original songs and has released his first single, 8 Plus, via digital distribution globally. Look for more great performances from this talented player.
馮羿簡介：
馮羿是一位來自台灣的年輕音樂天才（生於2007年）。他通過演奏流行音樂的烏克麗麗翻唱在YouTube上擁有超過60萬訂閱者和數百萬的觀看次數，並且知名度不斷攀升中。他嫻熟的演奏和直率的態度吸引了世界的關注。
剛開始學習這種樂器是因為他的幼稚園老師發現他的手指發育緩慢；他畫不出一條直線，也無法把黏土捏成一個球。他的父親試圖讓他學彈鋼琴，但馮羿缺乏興趣與熱情。當他的父親向他介紹烏克麗麗時，他也抗拒。但他的父親最終找到了一種方法說服他練習，就在每節課後他都會跟他一起玩樂高積木，這個方法吸引了他。
而迄今為止，馮羿已經掌握了五種樂器，從四歲開始彈鋼琴。他還創作了許多作品。盡管他在學校的課業上遇到了困難，但馮羿已經成為了烏克麗麗音樂界的明星，也在世界各地的比賽中表演並獲勝，如新加坡、馬來西亞、日本、中國和夏威夷。在《亞洲達人秀》（2017年）上，他是唯一一位獲得製作人大衛·福斯特（David Foster）按鈴的參賽者。2018年，一段在台北公園區彈奏湯米·艾曼紐爾（Tommy Emmanuel）的作品《古典氣體》的視頻觀看次數接近2000萬。由於這段影片走紅，馮羿被邀請參加艾倫·德珍尼斯（Ellen DeGeneres）的艾倫秀節目，為全球觀眾表演。自那時起，他已經兩次出現在艾倫的節目上（2018年和2019年）。
而在2020年，馮羿進入了《美國達人秀》的四分之一決賽，並且持續創作原創歌曲，並通過全球數字發行發行了他的首張單曲《8 Plus》，未來期待這位才華橫溢的演奏家帶來更多精彩的表演。
