We had the good fortune of connecting with Ziang Yang and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ziang, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Our company is committed to building a musical bridge between China and the United States, making it easier for Chinese and American artists to collaborate and giving artists more opportunities to perform in North America and China, as well as giving American musicians greater access to the Chinese music market.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am an audio engineer and music producer from Beijing, China. I am currently working as an engineer for Jay Z’s label, Roc Nation, and have collaborated with A-list artists such as Rihanna, Demi Lovato, Normani, Skrillex, and many others on many major commercial releases in China and the United States. I achieved my greatest success to date when I was commissioned to co-produce the song “过年迪斯科” (New Year Disco) for the Beijing CCTV New Year Gala.
Having had my music played for the largest audience of any entertainment show on the planet, I have established myself as one of the most reliable collaborators in the contemporary music industry.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I reside in Los Angeles, a city with cultures and cuisines from every country and the most renowned music/movie center in the world. My favorite spots include Hollywood, Universal Studios, Santa Monica, Universal Studios, Disney, and a variety of excellent restaurants.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Shout out to the owners of Blackwood studios— Jaime, Wiss, and Sam. Blackwood studios is where everything begins. They have taught me so much about music production and have assisted me in surviving in the music industry.
