Drawing on the lessons of his experience growing up in the US and then migrating East, Wang Leehom talks about Chinese pop music and the ability of music and pop culture to strengthen the relationship between the East and West.
Filmed on Sunday 21st April 2013
ABOUT WANG LEEHOM:
The first Chinese pop star and actor to be invited speak at the Oxford Union, Wang Leehom is the perfect ambassador for Chinese pop music and commentator on the emergence of "World Pop," not only because he has sold millions of albums and consistently been one of the hottest names in Chinese music since his debut in 1995, but also because of the unique journey he has taken from his childhood home of Rochester, New York, to concert stages and movie sets around the world.
Formally trained at Williams College and the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Leehom has written and recorded songs in a large variety of styles, including pop, rap, hip-hop, jazz and R&B, and is also known for his pioneering infusion of traditional Chinese elements and instrumentation into contemporary music. In addition to his successful solo concert tours, the latest of which will bring him to The O2 in London on April 15, Leehom's diverse musical talents have seen him perform onstage with everyone from Usher to Kenny G to the Hong Kong Philharmonic, with which he appeared as as a guest conductor and violin soloist.
Additionally, Leehom is an acclaimed actor who has starred in the Golden Lion Award-winning "Lust, Caution" from Ang Lee, "Little Big Soldier" opposite Jackie Chan and the self-written and directed "Love in Disguise". He is also well known for his philanthropic work and environmental advocacy, which were cited as reasons he was the only Chinese recording artist selected as a torchbearer for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
With over 33 million followers, Leehom is among the most followed personalities on Weibo (a Chinese analogue to Twitter).

In 2011 the band played shows with the likes of Katchafire, Ladi 6, Jayson Norris and I Am Giant, and performed at numerous festivals with acts like INXS, Status Quo and Shihad to name a few.

"London four piece Melic successfully blended their diverse backgrounds - classical, funk, metal and rock - with 'Nowhere I'd Rather Be' a particular highlight". - The Independent (UK) (Cornbury Festival Review) "A very intriguing young band from London that use their disparate influences to create a very eclectic form of progressive-indie-rock, which is the only way we can describe their very unique sound. Besides being very accomplished musicians, Melic write some great tunes too and they aren't afraid to experiment". - Play Music Pick Up Magazine "Nowhere I'd Rather Be is the sound of a band scaling new heights in song writing and saleability, while maintaining their high standard of musicianship. Melic are proving that you do not need to dumb things down to write catchy rock songs" - Dan Issitt - Aim Low Press Description Melic are a four-piece band based in London. Their sound is derived from an eclectic blend of musicians - fusing a metal drummer, a funk-rock bassist, a classically trained pianist/saxophonist, and a singer/song-writer rock guitarist.

Dance a la Plage - 'Matilda' Founded in early 2011, this exciting, up-and-coming quartet from the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside have developed a highly unique Indie/Pop/Alternative sound with an ear for catchy melodies and feel good songs. Check out their latest music video on Oxbox.TV
The Keyz are an Indie/Rock band from Banbury, Oxfordshire with a DIY approach, working on every aspect from writing, producing and recording through to management and promotion. The band's sound has often been classified as 'unique'. A wide range of influences across a very broad musical spectrum (from The Shadows to Rancid) has meant The Keyz cannot be pigeonholed, but we'll have a go at describing it anyway. If you take the production sound of 70's rock bands such as ELO and Pink Floyd, then mix that with a pinch of Country, throw in a helping of 80's American rock and wrap it all up in a modern British Indie ribbon, you have The Keyz.
The Scholars are a quintet from Oxfordshire who formed in 2007. They are currently gigging around the midlands area. The Scholars are managed by Rod Thompson and have been played on various national and local radio stations including the likes of BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 and Kerrang!
