Hong Kong veteran Cantopop singer Leon Lai will perform his Random Run concert at Shenzhen Bay Sports Center on Sept. 9.

His debut album “Leon” went gold in the 1990s. Together with Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok, Lai was among the four most popular male singers during the 1990s, when the media referred to them as “Cantopop Four Heavenly Kings.”

In the early stages of his career, he mainly sang Cantopop and Mandopop, but due to the influence of producer Mark Lui, he expanded his repertoire to include popular electronic songs with compelling music videos. In 1990 he won his first Jade Solid Gold Top 10 Awards and RTHK Top 10 Gold Songs Awards. He followed up to win the TVB Jade Solid Gold Most Popular Male Singer award in 1993 and 1995. In 1996, he collaborated with composer Steve Barakatt on his album “Feel.” Two years later in 1998, he became the first Hong Kong singer to reach the Top 10 on the K-pop chart with the song “After Loving You.”

In 2002 he was selected to sing “Charged up,” the 2002 FIFA World Cup theme song for China. In 2004, he became the first Hong Kong singer to represent the territory at the first Asia Song Festival held in South Korea.

In 2004, Lai formed a new record production company A Music with Peter Lam. To bring new layers into his music, Lai invited famous music producer Jonathan Lee from Taiwan in 2005 to produce his Mandarin album “A Story.”
