Wong released his second album, Ray of Light (光芒 Guāng Máng), in November 2002. Other than working on his own album, Wong also found time to co-produce other singers' albums like Rene Liu and Fish Leong. However, after much contemplation, Wong finally accepted the challenge and was successful in breaking away from the Michael & Victor mould. This is because he was not confident that he was skilful enough to produce one whole album all by himself. Although Wong's company promptly decided that he should produce his first solo album on his own, he did not agree straight away. Not long after the announcement, Wong worked hard to compose and write new songs for his new solo album, Michael's First Album (第一次個人創作專輯 Dì Yī Cì Gè Rén Chuàng Zuò Zhuān Jí), which performed above expectation. After a few splendid and successful years together as a duo in the Chinese music scene, during which the pair secured countless awards for their success, Michael and Victor then decided it was time to part cordially and go their own ways in the music scene as solo singers in year 2000. Their albums managed to hit the top notch both locally and in Taiwan as their debut album went platinum in both Malaysia and Taiwan. The duo then arguably became the first Malaysians to attain much success in the music scene in Taiwan. In Taiwan and China, they were mostly known as Wu Yin Liang Pin (無印良品), a name given by their record label in Taiwan. They then formed a duo group more commonly known in Malaysia as Michael & Victor or Guang Liang Pin Guan (光良品冠). With the joining of Victor Wong as a singer during that period, they submitted the album, with the theme song written by Michael, "掌心“ (The Palm) to Rock Records, which in turn, signed them up almost immediately. After his graduation, Michael produced his first album with two other college mates, Chan and Tan. Finally noticed by Asia Pacific Music in the Pioneer karaoke contest, he started to learn Audio Engineering at Ocean Institute Of Audio Engineering during his contract with Asia Pacific Music as a recording artist. After he moved to Kuala Lumpur to pursue a course in computer engineering, his interest in the world of music and music composition began to grow.Įntering from up to 30 singing competitions in town in a single year, where he managed to surface as the winner several times, were also the stepping stones to his successful singing career today. Graduating from Sam Tet School in Ipoh, Wong often participated in musical performances in school and has been writing his own songs since secondary school. Wong, as a devoted Catholic, often sang in the church choir during his school days and was once a choir teacher at a church. Born in Ipoh, Malaysia to a Hakka family, he is the elder of two children.
