Alan Ko's Journey to Stardom

Alan is the son of the famous Taiwanese stuntman and actor, Blackie Ko Shou Liang. Alan wrote two songs, "Wake Up" and "I Miss You," for his father. These songs show how much his father influenced him. Before becoming a famous singer, Alan worked very hard.

Later, Alan became friends with Jay Chou, another famous musician. Jay Chou told him that writing his own songs was important. This advice inspired Alan to start writing more. He began to write songs in different styles. These included R&B, rock music, rap, and pop music.

Alan's music director pushed him to make his songs perfect. He worked on them every day, week, and month. Even when it was tough, Alan kept going. After six years of hard work, he chose the best 12 songs for his first album.

On August 19, 2005, Alan Kuo released his first album. It had 12 songs and was very popular. Famous Hong Kong singer and actor, Jacky Cheung, also supported his music. Since then, Alan has acted in many TV shows and movies.
