Philip Wei (韋雄) is a talented being in many ways, not only is he recognized as a talented musician, he is also known as a talented communicator with the ability to speak Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and Japanese. Being born in Hong Kong, raised in Toronto, and having lived in Japan, he has experienced more than most people his age. Philip has also performed in many cities including Hong Kong, Sendai, Chicago, Baltimore, Vancouver, Dominican Republic, and etc. He also sung and performed at many occasions in Toronto. Aside from singing, while still living in Toronto, Philip spent his spare time gigging as a drummer and chorus singer for Hong Kong and Taiwan artists performing overseas. Returning to Hong Kong after graduation, he continued to sing in many occasions, notably singing for a couple Disney feature films, while continuing to do some background vocals gigs. Before getting signed with Star Entertainment in July 2008, Philip also had the chance to work with the famous producer/lyricist Chen Shaoqi. Flying to Beijing and Taipei, and of course working in Hong Kong, he had the chance to take part in the production of several 2008 Beijing Olympic theme songs, Hong Kong’s 2008 30-Hour Famine theme song, as well as numerous pop songs.
Going back to his high school years, Philip's musical interest drew him to George S. Henry Academy High School, famous for its music programs. At George S. Henry, Philip was not only a part of the 100-plus member choir, but he was also chosen to be the lead soloist due to his exceptional voice and talent.
In 1999, Philip was introduced to renowned singer/performer Teresa Carpio. Soon, he began taking private training under the wings of Teresa. With the help of Teresa, Philip's vocal and performing abilities have expanded into another level. With many performing experiences under his belt, Philip decided to challenge himself by joining the Toronto New Talent Singing Competition. Over several rounds of elimination, and testing, it was obvious that Philip had more to offer than the other contestants, and the judges all agreed that Philip is, with no doubt, the winner. After winning the New Talent Competition, Philip gained a reputation locally as a talented singer / performer. In the summer of 2004, he also attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston to do further vocal studies. Performing in many occasions, Philip captured the public with his voice, and ability to sing.
