==Early life==
Born blind due to Leber's congenital amaurosis (which causes the retina to disintegrate), Tan grew up listening to 1980s Mandopop ballads, which inspired him to learn to play the piano and guitar. He studied at the Singapore School for the Visually Handicapped and Dunearn Secondary School.〔Adeline Chia, "Singing his way home", The Straits Times, 14 September 2009.〕 After his O Levels, he worked as a massage therapist and a singer at a café. He also busked at Jurong East and Waterloo Street, playing his guitar and singing Mandopop ballads for two to eight hours per day.〔〔"Superstar no more", The New Paper, 12 February 2011.〕 According to The New Paper reporter Mindy Tan, his performances drew large crowds (including Malays and Indians), some of whom were so "impressed () his music" that they would "sit on the pavement nearby for up to an hour listening to him".〔Mindy Tan, "Blind superstar who made us all see", The New Paper, 6 September 2005.〕
