Jun Kung is compelled to keep moving forward. From humble beginnings the Macau-born pop star has become one of Hong Kong's most noted musicians. And his next move sees him take on the role of entrepreneur by founding production company MoFo Music. His big idea? To produce Canto-pop that, well, doesn't sound like Canto-pop.
The move is not unexpected, as Kung is well qualified to become a producer. He has an impressive résumé as a session musician, he's released a series of critically acclaimed solo albums (the most recent being Playback is a Bitch, which marked the first time that he and MoFo partner Kelvin Avon worked together), and he has won best original song at the Hong Kong Film Awards for the past two years.
Kung has the look of an impresario, too. When he and Avon walked into the interview wearing suits and ties (along with a new haircut for Kung) images of Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z came to mind.
