Yang Pei-An
Yang Pei-An (, born June 5, 1971 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan), also known as Roger Yang, is a Taiwanese rock singer known for breaking out as an "undiscovered" talent at the age of 35 in the Taiwanese music industry with the hit song, "I Believe" (我相信) that established his powerhouse, octave-jumping vocal skills, leading him to be dubbed as the "Iron Lung Prince" (鐵肺王子)〔http://ent.msn.com.tw/news/content.aspx?sn=0901011896〕 by the Taiwanese media and the "Treble God" (高音之神)〔http://house.focus.cn/news/2010-09-27/1059024.html〕 by his fans. He's also been praised as "Music's 101" (音樂界的101),〔http://www.skyhigh.com.tw/News/NewsDetail.aspx?nid=17〕 referencing how his high notes pierce the sky like the Taipei 101, while his singing is often compared to the late Zhang Yu-Sheng (張雨生) due to his penchant for singing the latter's songs and their similar ability to sing high notes effortlessly and clearly without using falsetto. Yang's songs are often used in commercials or by contestants like Jing Chang in singing competitions due to their level of difficulty.
==Early life==
Born to a firefighter〔http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/Zsiq3Xqg2n4/〕 father and a working mother, Yang spent his childhood singing cartoon jingles and show-tunes.〔http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/CYcEqygUKSA/〕〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAFM7F9IZXo〕 His admiration for rock bands like Europe, and later Jon Bon Jovi and Journey, that led him to discover his natural talent for singing high notes.〔
At age of 17, he began attending the Wenzao Ursuline College of Languages〔http://a001.wtuc.edu.tw/front/bin/ptdetail.phtml?Part=alumni_A04_39&PreView=1〕 and was discovered by Dick Cowboy, 迪克牛仔 aka 老爹,〔http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTY0MjQ2MjA0.html〕 a music instructor at the school, who was impressed by Yang's raw and unrefined singing talent, inviting Yang to join as backup vocals to a rock band he was mentoring called the "Dirty Fingers".〔 Yang then competed in a 1990 college singing competition (熱門音樂大賽 - Popular Music Contest), where he would win the Best Singer Award,〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1N4qoKdkJ0〕 besting out David Huang (黃大煒).〔http://house.focus.cn/news/2010-09-25/1058695.html〕 He began idolizing, Chang Yu-Sheng, whom he met backstage as Chang was a presenter at the competition,〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95GL61Spi5k〕 when Chang offered words of encouragement, "剛剛唱得不錯喔 - you just sang quite well."〔http://tw.knowledge.yahoo.com/question/question?qid=1608030810193〕 Around this time, he was also offered a recording contract, but turned it down in favor of his studies, when it was revealed the contract would require he discontinue his studies and move away from Kaohsiung.〔 The following year, after graduating with a degree in English from Wenzao, on August 1, Yang officially took over as lead singer for the "Dirty Fingers" when he competed with the band in the 4th Annual YAMAHA Taiwanese National Top Pop Competition (第四屆YAMAHA全國熱門流行音樂大賽), performing "Rising Force"〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VElqNQFYDSA〕 where he would win the Best Singer〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyU9IJ3dbQw〕〔http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2010/07/16/2003478045〕 award, while the band won second runner-up for Best Band.〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIgf_5DBt9E〕
On October 1, 1991, immediately following his success in the singing competition, Yang had to hold off his music aspirations to begin his conscription military service duties〔 and the "Dirty Fingers" disbanded.
