Yoga Lin accepted an interview with ifeng.com on April 20, 2010. In the interview, Yoga talks about his musical conceptions, openly praises his peers Aska Yang and Jam Hsiao, answers being regarded as the "small Eason Chan", and talks about his life.
Music: Naturalness sounds best, will not create music to please an audience
Since his debut, Yoga has captured many fans with his unique voice and his simple interpretations. When asked which is his favorite music style, he answers, "What's natural is what sounds best." He expressed that when he makes music he will not purposely create music to please an audience, saying, "If I were to create music to please an audience then it would be meaningless. I would definitely use the most natural way to present it to an audience." Yoga wraps up by saying his most attractive aspect when it comes to music is he "uses heart" (用心), saying, "[The] heart must be in the right place, must be used in one's own music and not in superficial things."
Friends: Aska Yang is unique, Jam Hsiao has star quality
Aska Yang, Jam Hsiao and Yoga Lin came from the same singing competition and all three have their musical assets and a big crowd of fans. Therefore, Yoga cannot avoid constantly being compared to the two. During the interview, Yoga expresses he recognizes the talent of the other two men, "Aska is original, his voice and the way he expresses his music is unique. Jam has star quality, he has a Bon Jovi feeling." When asked of his greatest advantage, he answers, "I understand certain things", certainly leaving food for thought.
Regarding the media referring to him as the "small Eason Chan", Yoga cleverly and humorously answers, "I am long but not shorter than he is. There is nothing to compare." He further says he won't watch Eason in concert because he doesn't want to be affected by someone else's performance and he doesn't want to limit himself so he rarely watches any artist in concert.
Life: I don't watch TV, I don't know anything about singing competitions
For someone whose career started through a Taiwanese television program, Yoga knows nothing about the current state of Taiwanese singing competitions. When asked whether he watches such programs, Yoga answers ever since he started university he has not watched television, including the year he was a contestant and he never thought of the competition as a television program.
