Agnes Chan - Forget Yourself
Producer/Co-Producer/Guitars/Programming/Engineer
English language debut from Asian pop icon and social activist Agnes Chan. After rising to the status of multinational pop icon from successful teen artist in Hong Kong to full fledged pop star in Japan, Agnes Chan served as Japan's ambassador for UNICEF through the 2000's, traveling to war torn and impoverished regions: Sudan, The Phillipines, Iraq and Eastern Europe bringing attention to the plight of children in these areas. She helped to raise millions of dollars for UNICEF to benefit these children. This album was a diary of her experiences during those travels, giving voice to those children who's stories needed to be told.
In the interest of benefitting UNICEF several several guest artists appeared on the album including film star Jackie Chan, Dishwalla vocalist J.R. Richards, Santana singer Andy Vargas, Kay Hanley of Letters To Cleo and Warner Bros. recording artist Michelle Lewis.
