[@cloudyjy]

So cool to hear what he thinks about music! And very well said about training/practice to refine one's skills.

[@PrinceDeeCharming]

what the helll?????? i never knew he could speak english....can someone more informed tell me why he has an english accent as well?

[@jamesgoodman37]

He studied architecture in Kingston University prior to his singing career, hence the English accent, (although people from Hong Kong tend to have the accent anyway).

[@hamishlam8385]

Day Vid Hong Kong used to be a colony and his dad worked in the government.

[@aquarius83210]

Day Vid he went to Dauntsey's School in England when he was 12...

[@jamesali76]

[@the.magnus]

@@jamesgoodman37lmao HK people don’t have Brit accents, the majority of them speak like 80s kungfu movie voice overs.

[@Idrislee007]
