He has headlined at renowned jazz venues such as SF Jazz, Nublu, JZ Club, and Blue Note in both Beijing and Shanghai. He has collaborated with world celebrated musicians such as Cory Wong, Gil Goldstein, Hayato Sumino, Manuel Valera, Maurice Brown and Justin Stanton from Snarky Puppy. His standout opening performance at the 2022 New York Times Square Ball drop show reached billions of viewers worldwide.

Driven by innovation, he co-founded Ginger Muse, an instrumental music label promoting original music in Hong Kong. He has released several albums, including Lost In Time, Angel & Demon, Transcendence, and Free Dimension. In addition to his solo work, Leo has recorded music that resonates worldwide, collaborating with prominent pop artists in Hong Kong such as Sandy Lam, Joey Yung, Ivana Wong, Leo Ku, and Keung To. His contributions extend to the Hollywood film The Croods: A New Age, as well as numerous other films such as This Is Not What I Expected, Chasing the Dragon and Operation Hadal.
