Leehom Wang (王力宏 S , Wáng LìhóngP ; Rochester , 17 maggio 1976 ) è un attore , cantautore , produttore discografico e regista statunitense .
Biografia
Ha studiato alla Eastman School of Music , al Williams College e al Berklee College of Music .
Il suo stile musicale è noto per la peculiare fusione di tradizionali elementi musicali cinesi (come l'Opera di Pechino o la musica tribale cinese) con un arrangiamento internazionale.
La carriera di Leehom Wang inizia nel 1995 : da allora l'artista ha all'attivo 13 album in studio, 3 album live e le sue canzoni sono presenti in molte raccolte, con un totale di più di 15 milioni di copie vendute in tutto il mondo.[ 1] . È anche quattro volte vincitore del Golden Melody Award , premio taiwanese corrispettivo dei "grammys" per quanto riguarda la musica cinese.
Oltre ad essere un musicista, Leehom Wang è un affermato attore: tra i suoi film anche i recenti Lussuria - Seduzione e tradimento di Ang Lee e Little Big Soldier con Jackie Chan . Per la fine del 2010 sarà inoltre in uscita il suo primo lungometraggio come regista Love In Disguise .
Leehom Wang, infine, è da sempre un attivista ambientalista e il suo album Change Me è stato dedicato alla sensibilizzazione dei giovani. Wang è stato uno dei primi tedofori per le Olimpiadi del 2008 di Pechino , dove ha cantato durante la cerimonia di chiusura. Leehom è stato inserito nella lista dei "The 100 Most Inspiring Asian Americans of All Time" dal Goldsea Asian American Daily .[ 2]
