"Alexander Lee-Hom Wang was born in Rochester, New York. Wang chose to attend Williams College, where he graduated with honors, double majoring in music and Asian Studies. He continued his studies by attending Berklee College of Music's Professional Music program, with voice as his principal instrument. He is active in all areas of music production, from composing to producing, to music arrangement, to lyric writing, to directing his own music videos.
Although he did not begin learning Mandarin until he was 18, Wang is now fluent in the language (including reading and writing) and has written most of the lyrics for his songs.[5] Wang plays over 10 musical instruments. In his albums and live concerts, Wang can be heard playing piano, drums, guitar, bass, violin, vibraphone, erhu, xun, and more.
A classically trained music background enables Wang to pull from a variety of musical styles and continuously reinvent his own sound that is distinctly Chinese and western at the same time, eg his 2005 release, Shangri-La drew heavily from R&B, dance pop, and the musics of Chinese ethnic minorities from Tibet, Mongolia, and Yunnan.
In addition to his music, Wang also participated in several films, his role in Ang Lee's Lust, Caution gaining the most attention.
He is also an environmental activist, and was invited to be one of the first torchbearers for the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics, carrying the torch in Olympia, Greece on March 24, 2008. He was also invited to perform in the closing ceremonies. His album Change Me was dedicated to raising eco-awareness among Chinese youth.
Wang was listed among 'The 100 Most Inspiring Asian Americans of All Time' by Goldsea Asian American Daily"
