My Twisted Heart
My Twisted Heart (AKA MT Heart) is a singer/songwriter and member of the creative collective Outsiders Entertainment. Born and raised in Hong Kong, My Twisted Heart’s music was originally inspired by Asian music genres, namely Canton-Pop, J-Rock and K-Pop. My Twisted Heart developed an interest in singing at an early age and he would perform cover tracks at school talent and singing contests.
Later during his College years in Ireland, My Twisted Heart officially became a member of the Outsiders and was introduced to Western music genres such as Hip-Hop, Electronic, R&B etc. Marrying Eastern and Western genres has become the DNA of his sound. His music often deals with themes of heartbreak, loneliness, and regret as these allow him to explore some of the deeper and darker emotions he has experienced.

“On the surface, this song is about an individual who feels trapped in a relationship and wants breathing space.” says My Twisted Heart - the moniker of Po Ki Ching - of his new single. “But it has another meaning to me.
It reflects my feeling towards Hong Kong – where I grew up, and where injustice was and is still happening.” A collaboration with fellow Cork artist Outsider YP, it sees someone speaking to their beloved, whether person or city, “Sinking to that bottom/You’re not dragging me down”. The pair both contribute vocals, engineering the track together.
‘idontneedyou’ is ultimately about the pain of having to leave someone - or someplace - behind, in order to take care of yourself.
