Gary Chaw (born July 9, 1979 in Malaysia), also known as Gary Cao or Cao Ge is a Malaysian singer.
Early life
He received his early education in Canada. He went on to continue his studies at Auckland University, New Zealand when he was 16.
Career
In 2006 he won Hong Kong TVB’s Newcomer Singer award and has since released three albums. His big break occurred with the release of his Mandarin version of “Superwoman”, a song initially recorded by Karyn White. Cao wrote some chart-topping songs in Taiwan sung by S.H.E, Cyndi Wang, and Aaron Kwok.
In a recent interview with MTV, Cao admits (fluently in English) that he is a shy guy who doesn’t express himself well through words but well enough in the songs he sings. His early influences came from admiration of Stevie Wonder and R Kelly.
He is one of the rising singers that has been compared to Wang Lee Hom and Jay Chou.
