Most people thought that Yanzi's rise to stardom had been because
of the Li brothers, Sisong and Weisong, who had recommended her to
Warnermusic and hence resulted in her rise to fame in Taiwan. In
actuality, the real mastermind behind it was actually Yanzi's
teacher, Peter Tan. He said the song that propelled Yanzi to fame
was actually not "Tian hei Hei" but a song titled "Again".
Peter Tan had been a music teacher to singers such as He Chaoyi, Wu
Enqi, Celest Chong and Sun Jing, but the disciple which had made
him most proud was Sun Yanzi. He recalled that 7 years ago, Yanzi
had just joined the Li brothers' music school, and had been put
into his class, where he had a total of 8 students in all. At that
time, Yanzi was a freshed faced student, thin, quiet and innocent.
She arrived punctually at school everyday, but was not very
noticeable in class, although she was very serious during
lessons.
Peter said, "At first, I didn't really notice Yanzi, but once when
I heard her sing, I found that she had a certain quality, something
very unique in her voice, and at that moment, realised that she had
a very great potential." After being under Peter's tutelege for a
year, where he coached her on different techniques on singing and
performing, Yanzi had already reached a professional standard. Just
then, Li Sisong had went to find Peter who was in his classroom,
and immediately, Peter recommended Yanzi to him. "This girl is
really not bad, I'll ask her to perform for you." Yanzi had been
shocked at this sudden request, but had no choice, and so chose to
sing Janet Jackson's "Again". Her voice impressed Sisong immensely,
and Peter at once recommended Yanzi to him again. "She will have a
very good chance... please help her try."
And so, it was the start of Yanzi's shot to fame. Even though she
didn't really had time to keep in contact often with her teacher
after she became famous, Yanzi still remembered him. Last year,
during her rehearsal for her Singapore's "Start" concert, Peter had
went to visit het. At that time, Yanzi was singing "Hai Pa" and
upon seeing him, immediately went down the stage to hug him. She
told him, "I have been working very hard, and made a lot of effort,
did you know?" This hug made Peter very proud, and he cried.
Last Friday, Peter had opened a new music training school known as
with his friends. Yanzi bought flowers for him and specially went
to attend the opening. She also secretly taped a video containing
her blessings for him where she said, "I'm very happy that my
teacher had opened this school, and hope that he'll have many many
students." Last month, Yanzi herself has established an agent
company, and she made a special request to Peter, "If there're any
good students, do send them to me, ok?"
