George Leong's musical career in the recording industry
began early, with his involvement in the 'Xin Yao' (新謠)
movement. Very soon, he was composing, producing and
arranging music for Asian Superstars. In 1992 Rock
Records offered him an eight-year stint in Taiwan which
had him working with artists, including Tracy Hwang,
Sandy Lam, Alex To, Sammi Cheng, Karen Mok, Energy, Fish
Leong, Jonathan Lee, Coco Lee, Johnny Chen and the late
Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui. His compositions for Fish
Leong's "彩紅", Coco Lee's "等愛降落", Alex To's "愛你愛的不尋常" and
Energy's "永遠不說再見" earned him multiple platinum records.
Last year, he arranged the dance tracks for A*Mei's
current concert tour.
George worked and recorded with top session musicians
and orchestras in Los Angeles, Canada and China, writing
scores for films such as '紅玫瑰白玫瑰' (featuring Sandy Lam)
and 'He's A Woman She's A Man' (金枝玉葉). His other works
include trailers for Animal Planet, Discovery Asia and
AXN. In 2003, he was awarded the "Top Local Soundtrack"
award by the Composers and Authors Society of Singapore
(COMPASS) for composing the soundtrack for Mediacorp's
TV series '新好男人'.
In 2005, he composed 'Singapore – The Place to Be',
conducted by Lim Yau and performed during the
International Olympic Committee Conference held in
Singapore. That year also saw him producing tracks for
Singapore Idol Winner Taufik Batisah and runner-up
Sylvester Sim's debut albums.
George Leong's DJ career moved from private parties to
spinning at Centro, Lola, Attica and Zouk. He's also
been invited to play radio sets on WKRZ91.3FM and
LUSH99.5FM.
At the end of 2007, Universal Music released George's
debut non-stop dance mix album titled "Fabulous 2008".
George is currently the FABULOUS resident DJ at St James
Power Station.
