Du Chengyi (), widely recognized by his stage name A-du (阿杜; ), is a vocalist originating from Singapore.

Career

Prior to his music career, Du worked as a construction foreman. His talent was discovered during a talent hunt by Singaporean producer Billy Koh, leading to a contract with Ocean Butterflies Music. His first album was launched in 2002.

In 2012, Du stepped away from the entertainment industry due to struggles with panic disorder.

An album was slated for release in 2015; however, its launch was postponed because of his mother's health issues.

Du made his comeback in 2018 with the album titled I Will Not Hide.

By 2022, Du had affiliated himself with Singapore-based media firm 8028 Holdings.

Personal life

Du entered into marriage with Lai Weili (賴瑋莉) in January 2016. Their relationship began seven years prior to his singing career and was rekindled following his diagnosis of panic disorder. The couple welcomed their child in May 2016.

When Du reappeared in the media scene in 2018, he encountered criticism concerning his increased weight, which he explained was a side effect of medication for his panic disorder.

His nephew, Kenny Khoo, has been pursuing a singing career since 2014.
