Looks like Singapore is about to welcome another familiar face from the Mandopop scene.

Real Huang, formerly of Taiwanese pop-rock trio F.I.R., has revealed plans to relocate here with his wife, Flora Li, and their two daughters, Xiao Hua Bao, 11, and Duo Duo, nine.

The 46-year-old musician left F.I.R. in 2024 to pursue a career as an independent music producer before officially announcing his retirement as a singer in late 2025.

And while some celebrities move to Singapore for work, Real has two main reasons for making the move: his daughters' education and his growing music business.

Speaking to China Times, Real shared that he hopes to give his daughters more opportunities to receive an international education.

The musician, who has been married to Flora for 12 years, is also looking to expand his music education business, Little Future, which already has operations in Taipei and Singapore.

He has reportedly invested close to NT$10mil (S$400K) in the venture, which aims to nurture young musical talent.

Singapore will become another base for the family, though Real plans to continue travelling regularly between here and Taiwan to oversee his businesses.

And here's something that should make the move a little easier on his wallet.

Real reportedly earns a whopping NT$30mil (S$1.17mil) a year in songwriting royalties alone.

Yes, more than S$1mil annually, just from songs he's written.

Not bad for someone who's retired from singing, right?

Over his two decades in the music industry, Real has been credited with penning numerous Mandopop hits, including F.I.R. classics Our Love and Crescent Moon Bay, as well as Compromise and I'm Easy To Fool.

And thanks to those songs continuing to generate royalties, Real says he's already achieved financial freedom.

Imagine earning seven figures a year from songs you wrote years ago.

But despite his impressive income, Real isn't one to splash his cash on flashy cars or extravagant purchases.

"Actually, my personal lifestyle is very simple. I don't collect luxury cars. Most of my expenses go towards my children's education and family holidays," he said.

Well, with two daughters potentially studying in Singapore, we reckon those education expenses aren't about to get any smaller.

Thankfully, it sounds like Dad's songwriting royalties have that covered.
