Chinese rocker Wang Feng will give a show at the Shenzhen Bay Sports Center in May.

    Wang studied in the Chinese Central Conservatory of Music, majoring in violin and viola. In his college years, Wang joined the Chinese Youth Orchestra and performed overseas. In his senior year of college (1994), Wang and his friends formed the rock band No. 43 Baojia Street named after the street address of the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing.

    After two albums, “No. 43 Baojia Street” (1997) and “No. 43 Baojia Street 2” (1998), he signed a solo contract with Warner Music Beijing. His third album, “Fireworks” (2000), was the beginning of his solo career. With the songs “Flying Higher” (2004) and “Blooming Life” (2005) on his following albums, Wang entered the media spotlight. His album “Belief Flies in the Wind,” released in 2009, won him the most popular male singer award on the Chinese mainland at the Channel V 14th Chinese Music Awards.

    In 2011, after being signed to Rock Forward Entertainment, Wang released “Life Asks for Nothing,” the first ever double album in Chinese rock history, which phenomenally topped a wide variety of charts and earned him nationwide critical acclaims on the major Chinese music awards. The same year saw Wang become the first ever Chinese artist to hold concerts in grand stadiums twice a year, which again proved that he is one of very few Chinese rock musicians who enjoy commercial success and mainstream recognition without discarding the famously rebellious roots.
