Tanya Chua releases new album after three-year hiatus
After Chua released her debut English album Bored in 1997, she signed with the Universal Music Group which ushered her into the world of Mandarin music. In 1998, she went to Los Angeles to study electronic guitar, and a year later she released her first self-titled Mandarin album. She has also written songs for other Mandopop singers such as Faye Wong and Na Ying.
During her travels to Paris three years ago, Chua also started learning how to bake cakes and cookies at a local pastry school.
"I fell in love with baking because I love dessert. I started from zero and it was not easy in the beginning. Making my first bread was as excited as finishing my first song," says Chua.
"The process of baking is like meditation. I focus on the food I am baking and keep out any interference."
