Mandopop’s genre-bending rising force GHOST王琳凯, also known as Lil Ghost (小鬼), is heading to Singapore — and this time, he’s bringing an entirely new era with him.
His upcoming Singapore stop for THE ASCENDANT TOUR 2026: 魁 (KUI) will take place on 15 May 2026 (Friday), 8PM at Arena @ EXPO, marking one of only two Southeast Asian stops on the tour, alongside Kuala Lumpur.
Born in 1999, GHOST王琳凯 first entered the spotlight through The Rap of China, before rising to wider fame on Idol Producer — where he secured a spot in project group NINE PERCENT.
Since then, his trajectory has been anything but predictable.
Balancing idol roots with a steadily evolving musical identity, he has built a reputation for being both commercially appealing and creatively restless — never quite staying in one lane for too long.
If you’ve been anywhere near Chinese music or variety shows in the past few years, chances are you’ve come across at least one GHOST track.
From “GOOD NIGHT” and “Come Back” to “Raining” and “Mood,” his catalogue leans heavily into catchy hooks with a distinct edge. His breakout hit “Don’t Call Me Da Vinci” (《别叫我达芬奇》) alone has racked up millions of streams and won Song of the Year at the Chinese Song Music Awards.
Even beyond official releases, his performances on shows like The Sound of Talent and You Are The One have gone massively viral — with clips pulling in billions of views across short-form platforms.
