If you see his creative background,

In 2008, Tanya Chua won the Golden Melody Award for "Best Mandarin Female Singer" and "Best Album Producer" for "Googbye & Hello". The pressure and fear that followed made Tan Ya face the creative bottleneck. However, as for music, she didn't stop to have a rest. She is still looking forward to a musical breakthrough and tired of repetition, hoping to surpass her previous works. At the same time, some adventurous and breakthrough ideas of playing music are brewing in my heart. If You Meet Him is an experimental adventure album by Tanya.

In 2009, when she started preparing her album, Tanya Chua not only wrote songs, sang songs and worked as a producer, but also found musicians by herself through the Internet. Album production is different from the previous way, inspired by the online music platform My Space. Tanya Chua likes to share music on the Internet and meet musicians from all over the world. He met the bassist Whynot Jansveld who lives in new york. They don't know each other, and they have established friendship online through my chat. At the invitation of Tan Ya, the two people who had a good talk immediately started music cooperation. "Would you like to compose music with a singer who doesn't understand the language?" . After the bass player participated, Tanya came up with a more challenging idea. "Why not form a band in new york through the Internet to complete this album?" Driven by this idea, a cross-border music experiment journey began.

Based in new york, this album, which was completed through international cooperation, brings together many musicians living in new york, including Dutch bassist Whynot Jansveld, Australian guitarist Ben Butler, drummer Rich Mercurio, Los Angeles keyboard player Doug Petty, mixer Richard Furch and recording master George Marino. Being able to cooperate with these foreign musicians in this way makes Tanya excited and stressed at the same time. During the recording process, she didn't dare to slack off, every detail was done by herself, and there were countless emails to communicate. Across Taiwan Province Province, new york and Los Angeles, from the unfamiliar to the familiar, from the demo to the finished music, the musical sparks aroused by Qi Li on both sides of the strait are fully displayed in this Mandarin album "If You Meet Him".

At first, Tanya Chua only thought that these musicians were of high quality. Even though they are separated and have never met each other, the tacit understanding of cooperation is still very good. Later, it was found that some musicians were "well-known", such as Maria Kelly, Rod Stewart, Susan Ge Wei and other royal musicians, while the mixer was the royal mixer of Lengwan, Bon Jovi and sarah brightman. In addition, the shooting team also gathered elites in related fields. The photographer is the designated photographer of international fashion magazine GQ, and the hair stylist is the hair stylist of Ayumi Hamasaki Royal. The whole album has brought together many excellent players from beginning to end. Every detail of the album is meticulously done. In order to present Tanya Chua's larger pattern and international music concept in the album, "Shen Ya Music" went to new york with a high budget to complete the cover and music video shooting of Tanya Chua's album "If You Meet Him", and new york is also a pilgrimage site for many single women's lives, which coincides with the life events shared by Tanya Chua in the new album. Tan Ya integrated his life sentiment and music concept into the album, hoping to present a broader view of love and a warmer and more active life sharing than before.
