irrelevant. I hope I continue to hold the same passion for music
and curiosity about the world. I hope that my music will always be
your friend and your mirror."
Ayugo Huang, a Hakka singer, who received four awards
for Mountain Of Doom this year, is definitely one

the past and into the future, transcending the boundaries of
language and ethnicity." When asked about the awards, Ayugo Huang
expressed that "I think it means I've been doing okay up till now.
I'm proud to have secured the awards for myself and for my fellow
Hakkas. The album may seem a bit heavy, but my message was one of
gratitude."
