Wang Lei
 Wang Lei is not only a prominent figure in the new Chinese music scene, but also one of its most versatile musicians. He has released more than 10 albums over the past 16 years, his sound shifting between psychedelic rock, folk rock, industrial, electronica and world music. Born in a small town near Chengdu in Sichuan province, the young Wang Lei studied music with a Sichuan opera troupe. From early on, though, it was obvious that his ear for music stretched beyond the traditional, and in 1988 he headed for Guangzhou to be a breakdancer.
