最喜愛的格言： "Composing is all about making decisions, You have a hundred different ways to get there, but you have to choose one. With twelve notes of every possible octave on every instrument, all the chord combinations of every mode, and all the varieties of rhythm and tempo to choose from, there may be thousands of ways. But imagine if the composer's palette included every sound in the natural world: a slamming door, waves lapping, or feet padding across a floor?"
- Sung-Kyu Kim
"Embrace your dreams. If you want to be a hero, you need to have dreams."
- Zack Fair (FF:VII)

"Victory favours you, but you must grab hold of your destiny and command it."
- Gaia (God of War II)
"The measure of a man is what he does with power."
- Plato
"Who we are is but a stepping stone to what we can become..."
- Deus Ex (Game)
"音樂不是我最想做的事，是我唯一想做的事."

年輕有為 音樂才子 林灝揚THE-1 Magazine
聽說在VIRUS PARTY有一位年輕而又很帥的DJ，他正是這次我們要訪問的對象。小記眼前這個帶點混血兒感覺的年輕人，跟他打招呼。右手拿著一個銀色KEYBOARD，左手跟我握過手，靦腆地對我笑了一笑。估計他很熱愛音樂，正如所料，打碟當DJ只不過是他業餘時間的工作，他的生活從來都沒有離開過音樂，自小對音樂特別感興趣，會玩吉他，打鼓，吹小號，最擅長是彈鋼琴。他是個百分百的香港人，在澳洲讀了3年PRIMARY SCHOOL之後回流香港進了INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL，說得一口流利英語。中文程度會講也會寫。3年前去了英國深造音樂。後來發現課程未能學以致用。又再隻身飛到澳洲入讀Australian institute of Music報讀 Composition & Music Production，繼續學習寫歌，編寫和錄音，志願是完成學業後能成為一名聲，色，藝雙全的音樂人。
一個月前，他其中一首原創音樂“ECHOES IN MY HEAD”被人盜用了再網路上廣泛流傳，那人更離譜地把自己的名字填上去，他懷著深深不忿的心情倒網上留言討回公道，說明自己才是這首歌的唱作人，讓那些喜歡他的音樂的人得知真相。就是一場小風波，讓他在個人網頁里的FANS人數多了3倍，從而給了他很大的鼓勵和支持，也因此認識到更多志同道合的朋友。小記看過他網頁里留言的FANS都說他的音樂很有個人風格，拍子加上優美旋律，一聽難忘！在新的一年，他自資出了一張個人專輯。由作曲，製作，編曲到歌詞及演唱都是他自己一手包辦，集合了12首個人作品。小記聽後果然名不虛傳。首推“MY HEARTBEAT”及“ECHOES IN MY HEAD”，如果某日YOUNG再推出音樂專輯在市面上發售，也許FANS的人數會升到10倍之多呢！據了解，YOUNG在短期內又會把新歌發表在他的個人網頁里。喜歡R&B音樂的朋友絕對不能錯過，可以到他的網頁SUBSCRIBE OR LIKE，取得更多最新歌曲信息。
“最想多謝DADDY MUMMY”
成長在音樂淵源家庭的YOUNG，不多不少因為媽媽是鋼琴老師的關係使他有著特別的音樂天賦。而且對音樂產生濃厚興趣。家庭成員的支持是功不可沒。無論是精神上和物質上，他知道在社會上不是每個人都有幸學習到自己有興趣的東西。在這個家庭里面。【DADDY MUMMY都俾左我好大自由度曲選擇自己的路，DADDY從來都無開口說贊成或反對我去讀音樂，但他都會幫我交了所有學費，我估計他心底里是支持我的。而MUMMY的心愿是希望他的兒女都能找到一份好工，她便心滿意足了。一直以來都無機會多謝佢地。我心裏面真系好感激我的父母，我希望未來將會找到和音樂有關的工作，製作更多好音樂去會回報他們對我的。或者可以攬個音樂大獎，令佢地proud of me to be their son!】我相信林爸爸和林媽媽知道自己兒子的孝順，一定非常欣慰感動。
後記
音樂是一種魔力！音符不同的變化，會變出很好聽的旋律。吸引住很多人的靈魂。看見YOUNG對音樂熱誠的態度，又能在年輕的時候定下目標，真叫時下的年輕人學習。（小記也自愧不如！）以現在的音樂市場來看，要做一個成功的音樂唱作人的確不容易，香港樂壇都在賣商業歌曲，台灣樂壇有位天王級的周董，希望同樣喜歡周董的YOUNG，能夠在一個每樣東西都講求商業價值的社會裡，仍然保留自己的一點風格，在音樂市場上大放異彩。如果大家想支持YOUNG的表演，可以來臨每隔個星期四VIRUS PARTY @ CIVIC HOTEL，時間請留意宣傳海報。
