HOMETOWN HEROES: 
I AM A SINGER-SONGWRITER

HOMETOWN HEROES: I AM A SINGER-SONGWRITER is a community-wide songwriting project that invites enthusiastic performers to take inspiration from the stories of people living in the Eastern District and Wan Chai District.

Through creative workshops co-hosted by <Every Life Is A Song> a social enterprise created by Hong Kong singer-songwriter Vicky Fung and lyricist Chow Yiu Fai, aspiring performers will help to continue these narratives in the form of original songs.
