Elson Soh - A choice that I never regret

Elson Soh 蘇奕銓, a name that you might be familiar or you might heard from somewhere before, or you never even heard of him at all. But to me, he is someone important to me, someone that stay with me no matter I'm up or down in this entertainment or business industry. I signed him on December 2005, release his debut single on June 2006 through EMI Music. 


Along the way, I'm too ambition to build my company and establish a status in the entertainment industry, I invested all my saving and money in the artistes that I signed, and many artistes come and leave when I fail my business and when they heard that I have a bad reputation, but Elson Soh didn't leave. Despite the fact that we always quarrel due to disagreement on production and other issues, he always give in to me as he do not want me to feel upset. Till date, no matter who I sign, he never ever mention or comment on the artiste, but he will help in whatever way he can help. 


Many of my friends and clients asked me if I ever regret giving up "this artiste" and "that artiste" because of Elson Soh, whom I believe that he will shine in future, and my answer is always the same until today, which is "Elson Soh is a choice that I never regret". No doubt 10 years already, he still not as famous as anyone else in Asia, but that is no longer our priority as we had already succeed long ago. 


Why I say we had already succeed long ago? Well, at least he have a few singles and albums under his belt, he held his debut ticketed music concert at Singapore Max Pavilion, he have a number of karaoke videos, he endorsed a number of brands and products, he appeared in many local and international media and press, he have his own companies now. What else can we ask for? In fact, we lead a fulfill life, better than more of the people around us, we are fortunate that we can still continue our passion and at the same time running a couple of different businesses. 


10 years had passed by, and we are still standing in the entertainment industry, yet at the same time running other businesses with our artistes and personalities, including a group of colleagues with us. Today, I decided to blog about Elson Soh, is because I remember what he always says in the past: "You only know how to scold me, you never bother about how I think, you always think you are right and I always wrong, you always think other artiste is better than me, no matter how much effort I put in, in your heart, I'm always the lousy artiste you ever sign. You never care about how upset and how depressed I can be at time."


Elson Soh, I just want to tell you that you are the best artiste that I ever signed, thank you for everything. You are the only one that really care about me, my family and my business. To me, you are my family, not just a artiste or business partner, but a closed family member in my life. 

You are the one that make me proud as many artiste management can't keep their own artistes as long as I keep you. At least this is something to prove that I do care for artiste that care for me and the company, otherwise we will never be able to accomplish so many achievements together for 10 years. Without you, there is no Royal Entertainment and whatever I have today. Thank you once again.

Some of my competitors and haters says that Elson Soh is not popular or whatever, but let see and wait for his ticketed music concert this year. In 2011, he is the youngest artiste in Singapore to pledge a 3500 sold-out ticketed music concert, this year he will create another history in Singapore again.
