Gary Chaw, born Chaw Pak Haw on July 9, 1979, in Kota Belud, Sabah, Malaysia, is a Malaysian Chinese singer-songwriter. He received his early education in Canada and later began studying Engineering at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, though he left before completion. Chaw is fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, English, French, Hakka, Hokkien, and Malay. His career gained momentum in 2006 when he won Hong Kong TVB8’s Best Newcomer Singer award. A significant turning point was the release of his Mandarin version of Karyn White’s 1988 song “Superwoman,” which contributed to him winning Best Mandarin Male Singer at the 19th Golden Melody Awards.
Chaw’s musical talent extends to composition; he writes for himself and other artists, including S.H.E, Cyndi Wang, and Aaron Kwok. In 2010, he joined BMA and was subsequently dubbed “Asia Best Male Singer” by media. His “Welcome to My World” concert tour across Asia was successful. Chaw is recognized for his powerful stage presence and a wide vocal range spanning from G3 to C6, encompassing tenor and mezzo-soprano ranges. In 2008, he composed and sang for the Beijing Olympics, featured on the Rock Records album “Far Away” (一起飞).
Despite his successes, Chaw faced challenges early in his career, including rejections from record companies, a period of alcoholism, insomnia, and severe depression. He was eventually signed by Rock Records in 2004. In 2011, he launched “Project SENSATION” with producer Michael Tu, an experimental music project that led to the release of “Gary Chaw Project Sensation 1: JAZZ” in June 2012 and a subsequent tour. Chaw’s participation in competition shows like “I Am A Singer 2” in 2014 and “The Masked Singer” in 2015 also expanded his reach within the Chinese market. In 2014, he participated in season 2 of “Where Are We Going, Dad?” with his children, Joe and Grace.
