Personal experience

1960~1980

Born into a family of medical practitioners, he began piano training at the age of 5. The quality of classical music had a profound impact on him. In the middle school age, Liang came into contact with the avant-garde rock that swept Japan at that time, which had a huge impact on him. Since then, as a precocious young musician, Liang's interest in music has expanded rapidly. He has been baptized by various music genres, such as rock, soul, jazz, rap and so on, and has participated in various band activities. After graduating from high school, Waseda entered Japan Medical University and began to participate in orchestra activities as a non professional.

1980~1996

After graduating from University, I worked in the hospital as a doctor for one year, then decided to set foot on the road of music again, and started my journey as a keyboard player and composer. Recording songs created in his student days, performing in jazz club and so on have increased his experience, exercised his performance ability, and laid the foundation for his rich music literacy, broad music imagination and excellent music arrangement ability. During this period, he also accompanied many singers' live.

Especially in 1986, he took part in the recording of Hamada's album and became the youngest one in that group of producers. Because of his delicate and mature music style, he was praised and used as music producer. From then on, his music ability began to be valued.

His activities are not limited to Japan, but cover the whole Asia. Because he was the music director of ATV's TV series "JingWuMen", his name gradually became known throughout Asia. In addition, he made Jackie Chan's movie "dead heat.". He was also the music producer of beyond, a royal rock band in Hong Kong, China.

1996~1998

During this period of time, he started to work as an independent musician while working as a music producer. Finally, her long-standing dream came true. In November 1996, her then owner, baolijin, released her first solo album "the gate of the dreams". This album is very different from his long-term activities in the field of pop music in the past. It is full of rich musical imagination. The keyboard performance is full of the mystery of avant-garde rock. In addition, the grand performance momentum of China Central Symphony Orchestra draws on the classical instruments of Asian countries and organically combines them. The completion of the work is very high.

Taking this as an opportunity, Liang began his activities as an independent musician. In March 1997, the first individual concert was held in Shibuya concert hall, and the performance of combining rock band and Symphony Orchestra was a great success.

In April 1998, the second album "in the other light" was released. This album is based on the local folk songs he collected in Mongolia, as well as the ancient musical instruments handed down from Europe, such as Hurdy gurdy. This time with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the music style is more diversified, and the content of music is further expanded. The melody of each song is very deep, so that the listener is deeply attracted.

In May of the same year, he held a concert in Tokyo International Forum hall, which gathered his achievements in the past year, and received a long standing ovation from the audience.

At the same time, he also worked as music producer for origa, a Russian born singer (the one who sang the opening of shell TV).

In short, since his independent debut, he has been constantly exploring and trying to add exotic elements to his music, which has been widely praised by all walks of life.

1999

In 1999, his music career took a great turn. In the process of his development as an independent musician, Liang contacted different music of different countries and times to find inspiration. As a "Korean" who inherited Korean blood and was born and raised in Japan for the third generation, he naturally resonated with Korean music, the source of his blood.

This year, he made his first visit to his motherland since he was born. When he heard the percussion music played by the young successors of Korean national music, he was deeply moved and couldn't help but burst into tears. Liang felt that his pursuit of all kinds of music had come to an end. That is the music that has been hidden in his heart, which can reach the soul and make people deeply moved.

The third album "onlyheavenknows" was released in the same year. Through Liang's visit to Inner Mongolia, South Korea, Britain and other places in China, the classical music played by mixing the sound source full of local flavor with the timbre of classical national instruments, and combining with the most advanced natural sound (sampling), has a romantic and beautiful style. At the same time, due to the use of Korean young players in charge of percussion, the album can feel a strong momentum everywhere. That kind of nostalgic appeal and harmony has become the biggest feature of this album.

Based on the latest album in the second half of 1999, Liang began to mainly include classical style piano performance, as well as performance centered on Irish classical music, and began to hold concerts centered on Seoul.

In South Korea, this album is limited release, since Liang's premiere in South Korea, it has set off a frenzy in the public. FM radio
