[font=arial]76. Leehom Wang Any Asian American who has ever felt that, in an Asian-centric world, he might have become a pop star instead of a doctor, accountant or computer engineer can point to Leehom Wang. Not only has Wang attained international pop stardom, he has done it while coining a new, uniquely Asian genre. His "chinked-out" music incorporates tribal sounds from China, Tibet, and Mongolia with more classical influences to create a sound that feels culturally rooted. Heroes of Earth, his most recent album, takes typical pop candy chords and infuses them with strains that could only have come from the Beijing Opera. 在一个以亚洲人为中心的世界里，任何一个感到自己可以成为流行巨星，而不是医生、会计或是電腦工程师的亚裔美国人都可以把王力宏当成自己的榜样。王力宏不仅拥有国际知名度，他也成功地创造了一种全新的、独一无二的亚洲音乐形式。他的“华人嘻哈”音乐将来自中国内地、西藏以及蒙古的少数民族音乐和更多古典音乐融合在了一起，创造出了一种具有强烈文化底蕴的声音。他的最近一张专辑《盖世英雄》结合了典型的流行音乐元素和原本只有京剧才有的韵味。
At 22 Wang became the youngest artist to win the Golden Melody Awards, Taiwan's equivalent of the Grammies, for Best Male Artist of the Year and Best Producer of the Year. A years later he became the youngest Best Producer of the Year and Best Male Vocalist at the Golden Melody Awards of 1999. Wang has released 10 Mandarin and two Japanese albums. His concerts attract hordes of screaming female fans in Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Taipei and Tokyo. He even has a big role Lust, Caution, the next big-budget movie from Oscar-winning director Ang Lee.
王力宏22岁即已成为获得台湾的格莱美——金曲奖年度最佳男演唱人和年度最佳制作人这两个奖项的史上最为年轻的艺人。一年之后，他成为最为年轻的1999金曲奖年度最佳制作人和最佳男演唱人奖。王力宏发行了10张国语和2张日语专辑。他的演唱会吸引了成千上万来自新加坡、曼谷、香港、台北和东京的疯狂女歌迷。他甚至在奥斯卡导演李安的下一步大制作电影《色戒》中扮演一个重要角色。
Leehom Wang was born May 17, 1976 in Rochester New York. He is the black sheep from a family of doctors. His father is a pediatrician, his older brother is a Yalie doctor based out of Chicago. His younger brother, also a doctor, graduated from MIT. Wang himself is no academic slouch. He was high school valedictorian, scored a perfect 1600 on his SATs, and was accepted to both Yale and Princeton. But passing up Ivy prestige for the chance to pursue his passion, attended Williams College and the Berklee College of Music. His defection to music was finalized in 1995 when, while vacationing in Taiwan, he was signed to a professional recording contract. 王力宏于1976年5月17日出生于纽约州的罗彻斯特。他是一匹出生于一个博士家庭的黑马。他的父亲是儿科医生，哥哥是出自芝加哥，毕业于耶鲁大学的博士。他的弟弟毕业于麻省理工学院。王力宏的学术也不赖。他是高中毕业典礼的告别演讲者，在SAT考试中得了满分1600分，并同时被耶鲁和普林斯顿大学录取。但是为了追逐他的梦想，他走出了常春藤联盟，而加入了威廉姆斯学院和伯克利音乐学院。他的音乐道路最终在1995年实现，当时正值在台湾度假的他签了一份专业的唱片合同。
