About Me

Born and raised in China, I moved to Paris when I was 20. Studied Guitar and composition at C.I.M in Paris where I got exposed to Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop, Zouk, Rock, French Variete and African music. I moved back to Shanghai with my 5-piece Funk band in September 2003. Since then I have played 300 shows a year in all kinds of situation for clients such as BMW, Porsche, Louis Vuitton, BNP, Chiva's, CD... just name a few. After 6 months of gigin in Japan, I have decided to study recording and production at the world famous Musicians Institute in Hollywood. Graduated in spring 2008, I moved back to Shanghai to start my production company SOULWAY PRODUCTIONS - China's most soulful!!!!!! You may wondering What's next? Well, THE FUCKIN' TAKEOVER!...r{} Table, Td{ background-color:transparent; }table table table{ width:100%; background-color:000000; }
