These days, you’re more likely to catch former Mediacorp actress Dawn Yeoh, 37, on a live stream rather than acting in a drama.
In 2021, she co-founded e-commerce platform Sibay Shiok with Terence Cao. More recently, the pair sparked dating rumours when they were seen hugging like a couple in a live stream. She only sees the 56-year-old former Mediacorp actor as a brother, by the way.
However, who knew Dawn is a singer too?
On Friday (Jan 5), Dawn will be performing at the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre’s TGIF Music Station alongside Bonnie Loo, Mai Zhiqi, Music-In-Law, and Arya Yunata.
Speaking to 8world, Dawn admitted to having pre-show jitters.
“It’s good to be nervou. It means the performance means a lot to me and I wish to do it to the best of my ability. Live shows can be unpredictable as well, so it’s normal to be nervous about it,” she said.
When asked to choose a song that represents her youth, Dawn picked ‘Declaration of Love’ (真爱宣言).
‘Declaration of Love’ is the theme song of the classic 1996 Mediacorp drama Wild Orchids (再见萤光兰). It starred Thomas Ong and Fann Wong, who is the original singer of the tune.
“It was after watching this show that I started to aspire to become an actress,” said Dawn about her pick.
“The song is mainly about love [between a couple], but I feel like that same love can also be extended to family members, friends, and oneself. Love during that era is pure and blissful, and is uncomplicated. I wish to convey the same feelings of innocence and purity in my singing,” she continued.
