Wang Leehom (born May 17, 1976), sometimes credited as Leehom Wang, is a Chinese-American singer-songwriter, actor, producer, and film director. Formally trained at the Eastman School of Music, Williams College and Berklee College of Music, his music is known for fusing hip-hop and R&B with traditional Chinese music (such as Beijing opera, Kunqu, Chinese classical orchestra, and tribal music from Tibet, Yunan ,and Mongolia). Since his 1995 debut, Wang has released 25 albums, that have sold over 60 million copies. He is also a four-time winner and 19-time nominee of the Golden Melody Awards, the “Grammys” of Chinese music. His sold-out concert at the 90,000 seat Beijing Bird’s Nest on April 14, 2012 was the first solo pop concert to be held at the iconic venue. With over 72 million followers on social media, Wang is one of the most followed celebrities in China (peaked as #1 most followed person in China’s social media in 2014). In 2018, CNN dubbed him “King of Chinese Pop” and the LA Times called him “the biggest American star America has never heard of.” Wang was listed as one of Goldsea’s “The 100 Most Inspiring Asian Americans of All Time”.

In the summer of 1995, while Wang was visiting his grandparents in Taiwan, he was offered a professional recording contract by Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) after he participated in a talent competition hosted by the label. Not wanting to lose the opportunity, he immediately began preparing for his debut, and released his debut album Love Rival, Beethoven (情敌贝多芬) that December. The record received little limelight, forcing him to leave the label. He signed with Decca Records the following year, a label then famous for producing “powerful singers” (實力派歌手) in Taiwan. Wanting to also have control in the idol market, the label initially planned to market Wang as the mainstream “romantic idol”, like with their previous artist Mavis Fan. However, after discovering Wang’s talent in music-making, Decca began promoting him as Taiwan’s “quality idol” (優質偶像) instead. Wang released his second album If You Heard My Song in 1996, which included some of his own compositions. He co-wrote the album’s eponymous title song, which earned positive responses from the audience. The album drew moderately successful sales, and he became a rising star in the idol market, also finding similar successes with his third and fourth albums. During this time, Wang was asked to leave his college studies to pursue a full-time singing career, but he insisted on finishing school first.

The place he was raised is Rochester, New York. He got married in 2013 to Lee Jing Lei. They had a baby girl in 2014.
