Biography

R.Chord was named Ho-hsien (和弦), meaning "chord," by his grandfather. R.Chord started to play the guitar at a very young age due to the influence of his grandfather, who he looked up to as a role model.

By the year 2004, aged 16, R.Chord had composed around 50–60 songs and won a songwriting competition. He attended Guess Guess Guess during the competition period, and was favourably received by the audience. The prize was a contract with HIM International Music, but R.Chord did not take up the offer of the contract and instead, went to play underground music with his band, SEA-LEVEL (海平面).

R.Chord made his first acting debut in KO One (終極一班) as Shayu (鯊魚), following up with many other appearances in other Taiwanese dramas, notably as his character, R.Chord in Taiwanese drama The X-Family (終極一家), in which he appeared as a person with supernatural powers tasked with the responsibility of protecting the Dimension. He then played the character Dashu (大樹) in Hanazakarino Kimitachihe (花樣少年少女) in the year 2006.

Songs

R.Chord has composed many songs for Taiwanese dramas such as KO One's "Zhōngjí yī bān" (終極一班), where he helped to write the lyrics such as, "Gou Ai" (夠愛) from The X-Family (2007), and recently, "Nǐ céngjīng ràng wǒ xīndòng" (你曾經讓我心動) from They Kiss Again (2007).

He has also helped Danson Tang write the song "Zhǐ qiàn yījù wǒ ài nǐ" (只欠一句我愛你) in Danson's 1st debut album, Ai Wo (愛我).
