Since entering the music industry 9 years ago, Ricky Hsiao Huang-Chi, though visually disabled, had always been producing and releasing his music independently. However, this afternoon, he officially signed with Warner Music and announced that he will be releasing his new album, Chords of Loneliness, on the 20th of January. This marks the first time that he will be releasing an album with a commercial record company.
It was also revealed that through his hard work, he has bought himself and his mother 3 houses altogether, demonstrating great financial ability despite the odds. He jokingly told reporters, “This is because I have money but nowhere to spend it on - this is one of the advantages of being visually disabled!”
He also revealed his desire to have a female owner to co-own these houses with. “My mother is worried that I would not be able to find a partner and keeps asking me to go on blind dates,” he divulged, adding that since he is visually disabled, the voice is the most important factor when it comes to describing his ideal woman. When prompted, he specifically named Amber Kuo and said that her pleasant voice gave him the feeling that she is girl with a sweet look and small frame. He further joked that, “My ideal woman's voice definitely can’t be like my senior, Tiger Huang’s! If I have to hear such a husky voice everyday I don’t think I’ll be able to live well,” revealing his close friendship with songstress Tiger Huang as well as his natural cheerful demeanor.
