Ben Cheng Tsun Yin (Chinese: 程浚彥; born 17 July 1994[2]), better known by his stage name Tyson Yoshi, is a Hong Kong independent singer, songwriter, and MV director. He made his debut in 2018 with his single To My Queen.

Career

[edit]

Tyson Yoshi attended Sedbergh School in the United Kingdom and later studied interior architecture at the University of Brighton. In 2018, he started producing music in Taiwan and debuted with the single, To My Queen. [3] In July 2019, he became famous with Christy,[4] a song written to his girlfriend. Christy went on to accumulate more than one million views on YouTube, the first of his songs to do so.[5]

The name "Tyson Yoshi" derives from his first name's initialism, "T.Y". "Tyson" was one of his middle-school nicknames, and "Yoshi" is from Yoshinoya, a food chain found widely across Hong Kong.[6][7]

Tyson Yoshi started as an independent singer in 2018. His first album, 1st, was released in 2019.[8] He is one of Hong Kong's best-known hip hop artists and rappers, with over two million streams on Spotify in more than 100 countries in 2019.[9][10][11] In 2021, his popularity surged again after his performance in Music is Live with Terence Lam, Keung To and Jer Lau.[4] As of 2022, Christy has garnered more than 20 million views on YouTube.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

On 6 June 2024, Tyson Yoshi proposed to his girlfriend of 7 years, Christy, on stage during his concert in Vancouver.
