Biography

edit

George Leong's musical career in the recording industry began early, with his involvement with the xinyao (Songs composed and sung by Singaporeans) movement in 1987.[1][2] He is known for his music arrangement work on Leslie Cheung's biggest hit "Chase" and Sandy Lam's Scars album.[3] He arranged sound tracks for films such as Red Rose White Rose, He's a Woman, She's a Man, The Phantom Lover, Little Dragon Maiden, and The Bride with White Hair. In 1992, Leong produced a number of Chris Ho's songs, including "Deeper", in the album Save Sex, commissioned by Action for AIDS, Singapore. Then in 1993, Leong co-produced Dick Lee's "Year of the Monkey".[4] He is a winner of the COMPASS' Artistic Excellence Artist award alongside Mark Chan and M. Osman in 2016.[5] Mark Chan and George Leong collaborates closely in finding a form and sound for a distinctively Singaporean Pop music.[6]

His contribution to Singapore's cultural heritage includes arranging and producing the soundtracks for Fried Rice Paradise — The Drama Series,[7] a stage to television adaptation of Dick Lee's iconic musical.[8] He is also the music arranger, producer and mixing engineer for the 900-voices virtual choir video rendition of Home,[9][10] which was then used in a national synchronic sing-a-long as a tribute to migrant and healthcare workers in Singapore during the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] A veteran producer, George has been engaged to mentor emerging Singapore pop musicians in both their professional and artistic development.[12]
