Biography
š Hansen Chew Chai Min ā Composer of Grace š
Since 1988, composer Hansen Chew Chai Min has been shaping melodies to ācolor the world with love and purposeā. Guided by a dream to make the world a beautiful place through music, Hansenās journey reflects the healing power of sound and the strength of the human spirit.
In 2003, while serving as a frontline healthcare worker during the deadly SARS crisis, Hansen witnessed the fragility and sanctity of life. That humbling experience deepened his faith and solidified his resolve to pursue his musical calling. The following year, he founded Grace Music Creation as a bridge of love and grace to the world.
His first instrumental album debuted in October 2004, and in response to the devastating Asia Tsunami later that year, Hansen used his music to support World Vision Singapore. He followed up with a second instrumental album in 2005, dedicating both albums to relief efforts. In 2006, tracks from both albums were compiled into a double-CD titled "Love Always Finds A Way". Seven of these instrumental pieces were selected for airplay at Singaporeās Changi Airport, enveloping global travelers in soothing melodies for nearly two years.
In 2007, Warner Music Singapore recognized the evocative power of Hansenās compositions, releasing a new compilation album titled "Grace". His signature soundāanchored by the guitar with piano as harmony - reflects both intimacy and expansiveness, inspired by the Creator and the wonders of natureācontinued to inspire listeners across continents.
Years later, Hansen released āAt the Crossā, a deeply meditative album born of a decade of reflection, featuring the signature track āJust The Way You Areā. This work marked a turning point, affirming his identity as a composer of grace and testimony.
Near the end of the COVID pandemic in 2024, Hansen wrote āI Love You for Who You Areā to comfort a friend who had lost someone dear. This anthem echoed his earlier piece āThe Light of the Worldā, which he had used to honor and comfort his father before his passing. Both songs became vessels of healing, carrying light through grief. These experiences inspired Hansen to complete his signature album āI Love You for Who You Areā in 2025 and catapulted him into the creation of the Night Sky Series, dedicated to uplifting people with beauty and hope.
š” Radio Presence & Global Reach
Hansen's āI Love You for Who You Areā album and the Night Sky Series (Albums 1-8) have received international radio support through global promotion campaigns. His music has been downloaded by radio stations across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, India and Japan, reflecting growing international interest in his work. Following its recent release, Night Sky 8 has already attracted radio downloads and playlist support from international broadcasters, continuing the series' expanding global reach. This growing radio presence affirms Hansen's ability to connect with audiences across cultures through themes of love, hope, grace and encouragement.
A passionate songwriter and storyteller, Hansenās Christian compositions have garnered multiple finalist accolades at the UK Songwriting Contest. In 2018, his love song āJust The Way You Areā was honored as one of the seven grand finalists in the Commonwealth Song Contest, representing Singapore with a universal message of love and acceptance.
For Hansen, music is more than artāit is a universal language echoing the beauty of life and the divine. At the heart of his creative spirit lies the greatest love story of all: the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ. His music is a reflection of that eternal grace, a prayer for humanity to embrace love, cherish life, and walk in light.
āWhere there is Love, there is Grace. Where there is Grace, there is Love.ā
š Hansen seeks to color the world with the sound of music ā transforming grief into comfort, beauty into strength, and striving to make this world a more beautiful place for all. Through every melody, he continues to weave grace into sound, leaving behind not just songs, but a legacy of love, healing, and hope for generations to come.
