GayBird is a core member of PMPS Music, a cutting-edge production unit in blending alternative cultures with contemporary music, and dedicated in expanding vocabularies in the mainstream music industry. In his own music development, he has also formed an electronic group – Multiplex and published the debut album, Snow in June as early as in 1995, with music across neoclassical to electronic. He later returned to focus on his personal music exploration, and delved into the sonic terrain of analogue synthesizers that opened up to him, and resulted with the album Made by Gaybird published in 2002.

In recent years, he not only continues exploring in the realm of music creation, he started to investigate on potentials and formats of electronic music performance, on ways in making it more performative and lively, in order to enhance music experience to audience. This simple aim has motivated GayBird to study in new media art. He has received the Hong Kong City University Research Tuition Scholarship, and obtained Master of Philosophy at the City University of Hong Kong in 2011, specializing his research and creation in human control interface design, new media art and the interactivity of live music performance with application of media technology.

He created Digital Hug in 2011 and CouCou on Mars in 2013 and successfully brought up a new media music experiment. Both productions were awarded in Hong Kong Design Award 2011 Bronze Award for new media experiment/performance, best Electronic Music Artist at the Chinese Music Media Awards 2012 and 2014 and Ten Outstanding Designers 2014. Both works were toured in festivals all around the world.

The latest new visual music performance One Zero moved forward to explore the boundaries between theatre, exhibition and live performance. It blended theatre space, media installation, surrounds sound system, video and live music as a whole. Video visual was created by award winning film director Tsai Ming-Liang. The work was commissioned by Hong Kong New Vision Festival 2016.

Apart from new media instrument making, music composition and performance, GayBird also creates sound installation. In 2015, he collaborated with a few Hong Kong artists, and successfully brought up a large scale exhibition - Touch Wood. The exhibition was held at K11 art space for 2 months.
