Lay, born Zhang Yixing in Changsha in 1991, started with the boy band EXO in 2012 after being spotted in an SM Entertainment audition. He went solo a few years later with his 2016 EP 'Lose Control', which included the title track that became a hit.
His solo work has included songs like 'Mar Vermelho' and 'Ghetto Woman', showing a range from ballads to more energetic tracks. He's put out albums like 'Sheep' in 2017 and 'Lit' in 2020, handling singing, songwriting, and production himself.
In 2014, he faced some public criticism in China over a political matter, but kept working on music through it. The songs 'Solitaria' and 'Busca' are part of his catalog, which doesn't stick to one style.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
