In his post, Leong also attached photos of him discarding albums by Hong Kong singers Sandy Lam and Leslie Cheung – the “two most monumental records” he worked on.
“These albums were iconic, selling over 3 million copies in 1994 and 1995. Yet, despite the passion I’ve poured into music and a portfolio boasting over 2,000 works and countless awards, I’ve come to realise these accomplishments mean little in the grand scheme of things.”
Leong said that his New Year’s resolution is to “let go of the hope” that he can still sustain a career in music production and arrangement.
“Instead, I’m devoting my energy to my other passions, like fitness, which brings me genuine happiness and positivity,” he wrote.
“Helping others improve their health and well-being is far more rewarding than the exploitation and disappointment I’ve endured in music.”
In a later post, Leong explored the possibility of writing a memoir of his experiences. He claimed that he would “expose some very famous composer-producers who don’t know a single bit of music theory but managed to fake their way through” and feature stories of “singers who couldn’t sing to save their lives”.
