About Me
Le Zhang began professional vocal training in 1994. By the time she was 18 she had won first place in the Casio Singing Competition in Shanghai. She subsequently won a competition hosted by the China Central Audio Station and recorded her first song, “Scarf”, in 1998. Le Zhang has performed on local Chinese television and recorded theme songs for well- known TV drama and comedy shows. She is a frequent featured performer in the high- voltage Shanghai jazz scene and has performed as lead singer at the Hilton Shanghai from 2000 to 2004. A scholarship student at the New England Conservatory of Music, and the winner of the Sir Roland Hanna Memorial Award for jazz performance at the Aaron Copland School of Music, Le Zhang studies with Theo Bleckmann, Dominique Eade, John McNeil, and Ran Blake. Le Zhang's recent performances include the EMI Shanghai Jazz: Musical Seductions from Chinas Age of Decadence and her role as the soloist for Tan Duns Zen Shaolin. Equally at home as arranger and vocalist, she is currently active as a performer in both New York and Shanghai. Her arrangements of Chinese traditional music in a modern jazz context are capturing the attention of the American and Chinese public alike. www.lezhangmusic.info
