From Shy Girl to Pop Star
For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really
shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she
dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now
she’s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds.
