The new ‘nǐhǎo’ song

Video production has begun! Here’s the characters for the ‘New Nihao’ song that I’ve created and rigged:

Here’s the current opening to the song:

While the song is for Mandarin introductions, I’ve decided to cast three characters: The woman, boy and TV! Part of focussing more on the exclusive access Song Club for my music is I feel more free to create videos that I want, rather than think what will get “more clicks” on YouTube.

I’m currently working on a basic new greetings song. This song will go on YouTube. I have a basic melody, concept. Will begin recording it soon!

Here’s a one-take rough sneak listen:
