We asked NathanHartono what he thought about all those trolls attacking him for being a 'foreigner'.

SINGAPORE — This year’s National Day song, “Everything I Am”, is performed by singing wunderkind Nathan Hartono.

“I just remember thinking that it would be cool if, instead of being all the way of the show, one day, I could be like, at the end of the show, singing the theme song. I didn't really think that 12 years later that worked out. So it's surreal in that sense,” Nathan said. Nathan was born in Singapore as a permanent resident, after his then Indonesian Chinese parents migrated here. His mother, Jocelyn Tjioe, is a senior vice-president of the Tung Lok group of restaurants, while his father, Thomas Hartono, is the managing director of a resort consultancy.
