 ‍ Guest performer Ryan Yu made the transpacific trip to take the _Students Can Sing_ stage with our eight finalists as we find out who will emerge victorious and nab the _Students Can Sing_ champion title. **Journey Through Music** Influenced by his grandfather, Ryan Yu’s love for music started at a very young age. His grandfather would play the piano and sing every day. In turn, music became a crucial part of Yu’s life. Born in Wuhan, this rising Chinese pop singer’s handsome and lively demeanor goes hand-in-hand with his singing skills. During his time in the United States, he formed a band to continue his passion for music and singing. He entered a competition that he would later say helped solidify his decision to join the music industry. When he returned to China, he jump-started his musical career by participating in many large-scale singing competitions. His achievements have been quite impressive, including a second-runner up position on the third season of The Voice of China. In order to pursue his musical dream, Yu gave up the opportunity to study in the United States. When he expressed his desire to leave school to pursue music, he was met with strong opposition from his parents. However, he did not take his parents’ objections to heart. Yu went to a bar to sing and found a teacher to teach him proper techniques. His achievements today prove that his efforts have not been in vain. **Support Overseas** Yu is very popular in China. He participated in many large-scale singing competitions and achieved outstanding results. In 2014, he participated in season 3 of The Voice of China.He emerged as the front runner in Yang Kun’s group and subsequently achieved a 2nd runner-up position overall. In the same year, Yu was named Wuhan’s _N Generation Idol,_ as he inspires the younger generation to be innovative and courageous. In 2015, he won the Newcomer Award at the China Music Awards. In the same year, he also became a professional racer. In 2016, he sang the theme song for the outdoor reality show competition _Our Challenge_, and the ending song for the TV series _City Still Believe In Love_. In 2017, he won the Oriental Billboard’s "Oriental Newcomer" award. In 2018, he released his original single ‘Idol’ and his personal single ‘Wait For Your Answer’. Not only has Yu won numerous awards in China, but he has also received strong support from his fans in Canada. In a recent ‘New Voice Award’ poll,he garnered the highest number of votes from his overseas fans. **Finals** Organized by Fairchild Television, and co-organized by Talentvision Television and Popular Lifestyle & Entertainment Magazine, the finals for the _Students Can Sing_ singing competition will be held at the John Bassett Theatre in downtown Toronto on June 21st (Friday).Participating schools include the University of Toronto (St. George campus),University of Toronto (Mississauga campus), University of Toronto (Scarborough campus), York University, Ryerson University, Centennial College and more.
