YOU know you have made it when you are asked to front a public education campaign - in China, no less. That's the case with Kelvin Tan.
The Singaporean singer has been roped in by the authorities in China to help sound the alert on the dangers of Internet addiction.
Tan said he used to be a heavy Internet user but that was mainly to chat with friends. Now, career demands eat into his free time.
Referring to his current stay in China from April 12 till early next month, he said his schedule is also packed with activities to promote his second album iWeilian.
The 27-year-old winner of Singapore's TV singing reality contest Project SuperStar in 2005 is making some big leaps forward in China. Some 40,000 copies of iWeilian will be shipped to stores.
Kelvin, who is blind, has also been asked to perform at the Paralympic Games, which will be held in Beijing from Sept 6 to 17.
