When Taiwan's pop singer Ken Wu decided to make music his career, he told himself it would be his whole life.

“If you retreat from your goals you won't achieve them," Wu said.

That's what has kept Wu going forward on his musical road. His style is always' fresh and creative. Each of his songs has its own style and you can never tell what he will come up with next.

His latest single Laotze Says came out in April, 2007. It tells young people to have lived their own lives. The electronic music and philosophical clever lyric is sure to make it another hit.

However, Wu hasn't always been successful. His first album didn't sell well at all. His record company went bankrupt (破產(chǎn)) and he found himself jobless. But, one day, he heard his song being played on the street. He was so moved that he knew he had no choice but to go on singing.

Wu thinks that young people should follow their dreams rather than play safe. “Don't think it doesn't matter because your family's rich, or you can still sell insurance (保險(xiǎn)), or be a secretary," he said, " That’ll never work. Do what in your heart you have to do.”
