陳浩德

简介

Peter Chan Ho Tak, nicknamed "Golden Song Golden Boy," is a Hong Kong recording singer and a member of the Hong Kong Artist Golf Association. He hails from Shitsun Village in the Lam Tsuen area of Tai Po, New Territories, and is a native of that village, where his father was the former village chief. He grew up in a middle-class Hakka family in the early 1950s and graduated from Tai Po Old Public School. His interest in music began in primary school thanks to his music teacher and listening to Cantonese opera with his father, and he later became fond of pop music after listening to a radio program of English songs. During secondary school, he was exposed to Western instruments and enrolled in a drum course at the Kowloon Roman Piano Academy. After graduation, he worked as a trainee at Lai Fung Records, where he played music with his band in the studio, and was then introduced to EMI as a new singer in collaboration with musician Zhong Zhaofeng. He rose to fame in 1972 with the song "Beiqiu Feng," which achieved great success and remained popular until around 1975, followed by "Zhuofu Hua'er Mo Xianfan," initially sung with instructor Chen Xiuyi and later re-recorded as "Feifei Yan" with Shu Ya Song. He is considered one of the founders of Cantopop in Hong Kong alongside Sam Hui, as his album "Feifei Yan" and Sam Hui's "Iron Tower Clouds" were among the earliest local Cantopop works in 1972. Chan is one of the artists who has held the most concerts in Hong Kong, and his fan club, active since the early 1970s, remains active today.
