Life Inspired w David Yee @ Garibaldi Italian Restaurant, Bangsar
Li, short for Life Inspired – Asia’s first HD lifestyle television channel that showcases the five pillars of aspirational living: Food, Home, Wellness, Travel and Style – introduces the Faces of Li. They are David Yee from Malaysia, Angelique Teo from Singapore, Hannah Al Rashid from Indonesia and Jason Godfrey from Hong Kong.
David Yee (Malaysia), Angelique Teo (Singapore), Hannah Al Rashid (Indonesia) and Jason Godfrey (Hong Kong) will be the host for LINK.Created in Asia by Asians, Li aims to bring a brand new way of inspired living to its viewers through its diverse plate of premier Asian programmes. A Li viewer is the affluent, cosmopolitan Asian urbanite who appreciates the rich variety of Asian-inspired content. Li is currently available on 12 platforms in Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Taiwan, with more Asian countries to follow.
The Faces of Li will host the channel’s short-form programming called the LINK, which airs regularly every day in between Li’s programmes. The LINK is Li’s 2-minute coverage of the best and latest upcoming lifestyle trends, products, and destinations that Asia has to offer.
Malaysia’s Face of Li, David Yee, has a passion for style and design. An Australian native of mixed heritage, David had a successful modeling career in Sydney before moving to Singapore, which saw him star in major advertising campaigns. As the host of Showbuzz, an entertainment programme, he interviewed Hollywood’s hottest celebrities for two years. Though his day job as Marketing Manager for a design college in Kuala Lumpur keeps him busy, the multi-tasker remains popular as an event host and commercial talent.
Singapore’s Face of Li is Angelique Teo, who stepped into the limelight after winning Singapore’s inaugural New Paper New Face competition. Seven successful years of modeling followed before she moved on to television hosting, where her versatility has seen her fronting everything from edutainment shows to a daily sports program, with her most recent stint being the presenter of a travel programme filmed across the Asia Pacific region. The Pan-Asian beauty also produced and presented a radio programme, which showcased only the best trends in the world of luxury and finer living. Angel's witty, charming personality has established her popularity as a host for events in Singapore, the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle-East.
Indonesia’s Face of Li is Hannah Al Rashid, who graduated from the prestigious School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London. The skilled Pencak Silat martial artist also represented the United Kingdom in internationally renowned tournaments for over 5 years. Hannah has worn many hats: a VJ for an international music channel, a presenter at the Anugerah Planet Music Awards, and host of popular travel show in Indonesia, Koper dan Ransel. The Bugis-French beauty has starred in the music videos of top Indonesian artistes, been featured in Indonesia’s fashion magazines, and fronted many commercials.
Hong Kong’s Face of Li is Jason Godfrey, whose successful modeling career has brought him to Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa. Even while gracing runways and the covers of top magazines worldwide, the University of Waterloo graduate with a degree in Environmental Studies has never lost his love of the outdoors and thirst for adventure as a certified diver and expert rock climber. His gradual transition from modeling into hosting began with him co-hosting a live broadcast of the Oscars, which led him to sign on as a host for Li and a slew of other television programmes.
Janice Cheng, Head of Content for Life Inspired, said, "Li is very excited to present the Faces of Li. They will bring the best of Asian lifestyle to our viewers with discerning needs, be it striking a satisfying work life balance or being at the forefront of the latest trends. We’re very excited to get our four faces on board after a year of searching for the right talent and expertise.”
