I learnt about him accidentally at through this blog:

Ok, the writer of this blog IS a fan of Ken, so i thought i'd give this Khalil Fong guy a try. But maybe its just me. I feel that he's not
there yet. Still amateurish. Or perhaps i'm really NOT into Chinese music. Don't get me wrong though. I'm half-Chinese by the way. Its just that Chinese music doesn't appeal to me.
And when people compare Jay Chou with Ken Hirai, i do get slightly irritated. HAHAHA. Perhaps Jay Chou is talented but sorry, don't quite like people who wants to do so many things at the same time. Singer, composer and then actor as well!!!
Perhaps Khalil's music is similar to Ken's but i guess different people, different taste. I'll just stick to Ken. I'm devoted like that.
And I love Ken cos he sticks to what he's good at and don't try to put his fingers into every single thing available out there in the market. And on variety shows i've seen him on, he is just being himself without bothering what others think of him.
