Harlem Yu/Host of the 25th Annual Golden Melody Awards Ceremony
Cheng-ching Yu, better known as Harlem, is a jack of all trades singer, who can handle everything from composing, arranging and performing music, to singing and producing as well. At the same time, he is the creator of Taiwan’s first “virtual idol”, the virtual singer “Hi Baby”. Harlem burst onto the entertainment stage in 1986, when his song “Memory of the Youth” was selected as the theme song for the classic movie “Madam Yu Ching”. After concluding his compulsory military service in 1986, Harlem was the first Taiwan singer signed by Linfair Records (Decca), and he officially launched his recording career with his first Mando-pop album “Sad Singer”. He garnered the nickname “musical madcap”, due his wide creative genius, a repertoire spanning numerous genres, skills playing diverse musical instruments, and charming stage presence. His hard work and contributions to the music industry were finally recognized at the 13th Annual Golden Melody Awards, when he was bestowed the “Best Mandarin Male Singer” award, and which won him a resounding, standing ovation from the audience.
In 1994, the “Godmother” of Taiwan variety shows, Chang Hsiao-Yen asked Harlem to make a jump in his career, and join her as a TV variety show host. This was also the beginning of his acting career, making him a music, TV and movie star, which resulted in his winning the 35th and 36th Annual Golden Bell Award for Best Variety Show Host for his role in the popular TV show Super Sunday.

Over the past few years his vivid ability to take charge of the stage has been seen in his hosting of “TAKE ME OUT Taiwan” and “Super Vocal Battle” on Taiwan TV, and his role as a judge and mentor on “The Voice of China” on China TV. Moreover, in 2010, Harlem hosted the 21st Annual Golden Melody Music Awards, with his musical talent and hosting prowess earning him rave reviews. For the 25th Annual Golden Bell Awards, Harlem’s musical persona will allow him to give him to firepower to wow all in attendance.
