Summary

Tension is a Taiwanese R&B/pop group, signed by EMI Taiwan[1], the band consists of 5 members - Brian Fong, John Baik, Jimmy Hung, Andy Lee, and Raymond Hu. They were discovered during a performance at a local bar in Los Angeles by Taiwanese artist/producer David Tao. A record contract was offered to them a few months after, which sent them all to Taiwan as one of the first Asian-American groups to hit the market. Their first record album, “Smart” released in 2001, sold over 200,000 copies in a few months, giving them the highest first week album sales during its release. After their success of touring and promoting their first album, they headed back to the states to work on their second album. While Tension was recording their next album, a legal dispute was placed against their first record label, Shock Records, making the group place a hold on to its production. Their second album, “Gotta be Your Man" was released in 2003. Tension received Best Album and Best Hit Single at the Singapore awards and they were nominated at Golden Melody Awards2 for Best Group. They then signed with record label, EMI1, their 3rd album, Planet love, was pushed for an early release a few months after and they also recorded a compilation album, “Story”.
