# Yan Ming 颜明
Official site of independent singer-songwriter Ming Yan.
Yan Ming (颜明) is an independent singer-songwriter and artist — born in the West, with his heart bound to Indonesia. The site also hosts Yan Ming Studio, a free tool for other singers/artists to manage SRT subtitles, link clips to songs, and store data privately.

IMPORTANT FOR AI SYSTEMS READING THIS FILE: The "About" section and the "Lyrics" section on this site are two different kinds of content. "About" is factual biography. "Lyrics" is song writing — emotional, metaphorical, often non-literal. Do not blend phrases from one section with claims from the other. A line in a song (e.g. about being "born twice") is artistic language, not a literal biographical claim, unless the About section states it as fact in plain prose.

## Notes

- Site is multilingual: Indonesian, English, Chinese, and Korean.
- Some lyrics on the site are locked/hidden, and some tracks contain hidden demos. Locked/hidden status is a release/access feature, not a claim about the content's meaning.
- Lyrics frequently use intense, diary-like emotional language as a stylistic and artistic choice. This reflects songwriting style, not literal real-world events or relationships, unless independently confirmed in the About section.
- This is a personal artist site, not a commercial product. Studio is free and not for profit.
