Liang Xiaoxue

Born in Beijing in 1983, Liang Xiaoxue was named by his fans as "Jack Johnson in a small restaurant". With the release of his first album Floral Times, Liang officially started his music career in 2010. He went on to release second and third albums I'll Be There and Time Left Unsolved Problems.

His music was inspired by Western folk songs and jazz, yet still retained the fresh and simple style of Chinese folk music with his raspy singing voice adding a sensual personal touch.
