Personal life
Tao is fluent in Mandarin and English.
On August 31, 2014, Tao married Penny Chiang. Tao's extramarital affair with artist manager Ada Yang Zi Qing, whom he first met at a post-concert celebratory dinner in late 2010, continued well into 2014 in Chiang. Quan Min Xing Tan's website revealed their affair in June 2015, but Tao denied it and threatened to sue Yang and the publishing website for the "malicious lies." Yang, on the other hand, promised to reveal more evidence of her ties with Tao and begged for his attorney, claiming she could not afford to employ a lawyer.
Tao's counsel and prosecutor called a 40-minute press conference on July 7, 2015, where he confessed to cheating on his wife with Yang. "Please excuse me, Penny, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law." I let you down, mom. But thank you for not leaving me and for loving me... "I made a mistake and I'm very sorry, and I'm very ashamed of what I did," Tao said, thanking his family and fans for their continued help.
Tao and Penny Chiang's first son, "Bonbon," was born on February 14, 2019.
Career
Tao was hired by Taiwanese manufacturer Wang Chih-ping and returned to Taiwan, first writing and then producing songs for several musicians before releasing his self-titled album David Tao in 1997. He has since released four more albums, a live concert recording, and a collection of his best songs. Tao is a prolific composer and songwriter who has written songs for fellow musicians such as A-Mei and S.H.E.
Tao's self-titled debut (David Tao), released by Taiwanese pop singer Jin Ruei-yao and her husband in 1997 with the support of Wang and another Taiwanese producer, Jim Lee, was released by Taiwanese pop artist Shock Records. During the 9th Golden Melody Awards, this album became the first album from a new artist to be nominated for a total of five awards: Best Newcomer, Best Producer, Best Song, and Best Album.
People's interest was drawn first by the song Airport 10.30, but it was actually the orchestrated, melodic I Love You That became Tao's most popular songs. Spring Wind, a new R&B interpretation of a traditional Taiwanese song, was also included on the album. In this song, which also stands today, Tao performed all the vocals, and is widely regarded as one of the best a cappella songs in Chinese.
In 1998, Airport 10.30 was also selected for the MTV Awards for Best Chinese Video, as well as Coco Lee, who became the eventual champion.
Tao received two of the awards, including Best Newcomer and Best Producer, as the first newcomer/singer to win both a Best Producer award. Tao's first album was notable for the superb execution, which, amazingly, was made in Tao's house in Los Angeles entirely. With its strong Western-influenced R&B flavor, the album also broke new ground in terms of music style and arrangement.
Following David Tao's return to prominence, Tao shot to an unprecedented meteoric rise to fame. Unable to deal with the sudden media spotlight, he returned to Los Angeles shortly thereafter.
I'll Be With You, David Tao's next album, other than a remixed Bastard Pop ep, writing and producing songs for many Taiwanese artists, including a theme song that became one of Taiwanese boyband Tension's hit songs, he wasn't seen on the Mandarin-Pop scene for a long time as he slowly faded into obscurity.
Tao's second album, I'm OK, was released in 1999, two years after his first album. This album was supposed to be the best-selling album by selling 600,000 copies, but several commentators had reported that the effects of I'm OK were not any better than his previous works in terms of style and arrangement.
Notable hits include:
Tao tried many musical styles on his album, including, oddly, his favorite rock music. In fact, some commentators have stated that each of his albums are different from one another in terms of their appearance and musical arrangement.
I'm OK – Best Album, Best Producer, Best Video, Best Song, and Best Song Arrangement were among the six GMA awards for I'm OK – Best Album, Best Producer, Best Producer, Best Singer, Best Song, Best Video, and Best Song Arrangement were all nominated for six GMA awards for I'm OK. Rain later went on to win Best Chinese Video at the 2000 MTV Music Awards, but he only received the Best Producer Award on the GMA.
"Black Tangerine" was released in 2002 by Tao in the Philippines. Several of the songs on this post-911 album were among his favorites: a homage to:.
The strong social commentary, which included a track consisting of various authentic Taiwanese news snippets of unrelated family tragedies and public events, set Black Tangerine apart, placing the state of Taiwanese society in a somewhat critical perspective.
Dear God addresses Tao's sadness over the death of a woman who died in 911, a mother of a victim who died in 911 and gazed at her son's picture, wishing for him to revive. Tao uses his music as a weapon to vehemently condemn terrorists. In addition, this album highlighted Tao's argument that love was gradually marginalized by this culture; more and more people are concerned about money and drama than love and equality today. Melody was written for his ex-girlfriend, whose name is Melody. When Tao was 16 years old, Tao and melody were in a love. This song was a cherished memory of Tao.
Black Tangerine received various awards in Asia, but was, unfortunately, unintentionally overlooked for the Golden Melody Awards in Taiwan, where the album was originally intended for.
Since being wildly popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore in 2003, Tao has had a string of hit shows, has since gained a following in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Singapore, and he has won many admirers for his unique minimalist style.
Tao's fourth album, The Great Leap, was released in 2005. It received four awards at the 17th Golden Melody Awards and was named "Best Album Award."Notable songs in the album include:
On August 4, 2006, Tao's fifth studio album was released. "Beautiful" was a commercial success that garnered three awards in GMA, including Best Song, Best Composer, and Best Male Vocalist. Despite Tao's experience as a GMA veteran, he never reached Best vocalist, and this time, there was no exception, with Tao only winning Best Song with his Marry Me Today. The title song Too Beautiful, another old song restyled into Tao's signature style, Can't Get You Outta My Mind, and a duet song with Jolin Tsai, Marry Me Today are two of the album's most popular tracks.
On August 21, 2009, Tao's sixth album was released. It's the return of Tao, and he produced the album with a mash-up of R&B, Rock, and Soft Ballads.
David Tao's new album Hello Goodbye comes four years after Opus 69. On June 11, 2013. He turned musical elements from yesterday, such as classical guitar, synthesizer, and harmonica, into contemporary melodies and arrangements on this album. David performed with Tanya Chua and Crowd Lu, as well as Sharon Kwan on several tracks. Lin Xi, Huang Ting, and Wu Hsiung were also invited to write lyrics for the album, in addition to working with longtime collaborators waa and Ge Da Wei.
