A Chinese actor and singer whose soundtrack work and solo pop songs found a massive audience.
For the full picture, listen to 'Wu Ji (Unrestrained)' from The Untamed and his own 'Remaining Years'. They bookend the shift from soundtrack phenomenon to his own pop voice.
His role as Wei Wuxian in 'The Untamed' made him a household name, and the song 'Wu Ji (Unrestrained)' from that drama's soundtrack became a phenomenon. That track, along with solo singles like 'Spotlight' and 'Remaining Years', show his blend of pop with occasional traditional Chinese touches. The music became a focal point during a period of intense public scrutiny around 2020, making his subsequent releases like 'A Thousand Years Of Singing' feel like a quiet return.
He started in 2015 with the pop group X Nine before shifting toward acting. The 2019 drama 'The Untamed' and its soundtrack songs launched his solo music career into wider view. His work since has included steady solo releases alongside his acting projects.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
