Nathan Hartono Duets With Jay Chou At Sing! China Final

The talented homegrown singer delivered a smashing performance

On 7 Oct, Singaporeans watched in anticipation as Nathan Hartono took to the stage, competing against international finalists in singing competition Sing! China.

The competition was fiery, with strong contestants including Guangzhou’s Wang Chenrui and Malaysian singer Jeryl Lee from Na Ying’s team, and Jilin’s Yang Meina from Harlem Yu’s team.

Most note-worthy was his energetic performance and duet with mentor Jay Chou, where he not only tap danced, rapped, beat boxed, but also played the harmonica to the hit song “Nunchucks”.
