Roger Yo
Roger Yo is a Taiwanese musician with a background in classical music. He started his songwriting career after being exposed to pop music, and has worked in several international and local record labels.[1] His expertise is songwriting, arrangement and production in various genres. His works span from pop music, film and television soundtracks, to commercials, video games and theater music.[2][3]
Early life
Back in his student days, Roger was in the music specialized class with a focus on classical music, playing piano and violin. He likes jazz, film soundtracks, and appreciate musicians such as Hisaishi Joe, Sakamoto Ryuichi, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, James Horner, Ennio Morricone, etc.[4][5]
Career
Early career
In his student days when studying in the music specialized class, Roger received a lot of training on music dictation and perfect pitch. When he first entered the pop music industry, he was not used to the performing band’s regular practices of using music notations and transposing.[4] He tried to adopt using his own way of notations, and also tried to learn digital music production with MIDI. Every time Roger completed a demo, he always thought it could sound better, so he often kept on re-recording repeatedly.[4][6]
Roger entered the Chinese pop music industry as a production assistant. He has served as the A&R or copyrighter in many record labels including HIM International Music, Avex, and Warner Chappell Music, etc.[7][3] At that time, he was busy with projects while trying to manage his songwriting career as well. As he gradually upgraded and equipped himself with more recording and production hardware, he also actively sought feedback and worked to improve his demos.[4] Roger's first song released was A-Lin's “Yi Bu Ai Er Bu Xiu 一不愛二不休".[8]
Songwriter and producer
The song that helped Roger rise to prominence was A-Lin's “Gei Wo Yi Ge Li You Wang Ji 給我一個理由忘記", which is released in the album “Loneliness is Not the Hardest Part 寂寞不痛".[9][3] He has composed, arranged, produced music, and served as the concert director for many singers, including A-Lin, Angela Chang, Rainie Yang, Vivian Hsu, Pin-Yuan Huang, Ricky Hsiao, Jess Lee, Tiger Huang, Della, Shadya Lan, Jing Chang, Pei-An Yang, Amber Kuo, S.H.E, Ariel Lin, etc.[2][1][10]
In 2015, Roger arranged for A-Lin in the Hunan TV program "I Am a Singer", and produced songs and arrangements for the musical “Tiny Times".[2][3]
In 2017, Roger founded Easytime Entertainment[11][12]. In addition to being a songwriter, he also set foot into record production and artist management.[12]
Artistry
As a producer, Roger believes that each album has its own marketing strategy. Everything should link to key concept, so they can select the most suitable songs to present to the market.[4] Songwriting is a journey within the songwriter himself, which requires a lot of self-reflection and flashback of memories.[13][6] Instead of deliberately creating emotions, Roger thinks only through facing oneself and immersing oneself into music can one create true and natural emotions.[7][14]
As the music industry changes rapidly, Roger always keeps himself aware of every change. As there are many singers and diverse genres of music, the barrier to enter the industry is no longer as significant, but it has become more difficult for one to stand out.[4][5] The reason is due to competition not only within the music industry, but also with other entertainment industries such as internet TV, podcasts, mobile games and online games. Musicians need to think about how to highlight the value of their music, so that the audience will be willing to choose listening to music as their means of entertainment.[4][6] He believes that in such a period of time, what audiences want is more genuine and real, so songwriters should face their own works with an honest attitude, and find the elements within that can touch people’s souls.[13]
Personal life
In February 2020, he married the Singaporean singer Kelly Poon and had a ceremony at the end of the same year.[15][16] The two have known each other for many years, but began to get closer to each other because of the MÜST songwriting camp.[17][18]
