Later, Yang Xian bought himself a guitar, sheet music, and taught himself how to sing. He attended NTU's Institute of Oceanography for graduate school, and in his free time he would go to the Columbia Café on Zhongshan North Road to listen to singers such as Parangalan. In addition, Yang Xian would also occasionally sing English songs on stage.[3][4]
