Biography
He was born in Beijing and is the only child in his family. His parents divorced when he was four. Lai studied at King's Way Princeton College (England). Before he became a singer in Hong Kong, he worked as a salesperson for a cellular phone company. He was the second runner up in the New Talent Singing Awards, held by the TVB in 1986. He then signed to Sony Music on March 23, 1998. He was a singer of Polygram (now known as Universal Music) before.
Together with Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau and Aaron Kwok, Lai is one of the four popular male singer that the media refer to as the "Four Heavenly Kings (disambiguation)" (四大天王). In the early stages of his career, he mainly sang cantopop, but thanks to his producer Mark Lui he expanded his repertoire to include popular electronic songs with compelling music videos. Some of these are regarded as the best in his career. In 2002, he was selected to sing "Charged up", the 2002 World Cup theme song for Greater China Region.
