In the following year, he answered a singer-wanted advertisement in a music magazine posted by a composer and guitarist Tats Lau Yi Tat. They then formed the group Tat Ming Pair and later was signed by Polygram. After the group was disbanded in 1990, he continued his musical career as a solo singer and later also as a producer. In the mid 90’s, he reached the peak of his musical career. With songs like ‘’Blow Up’’ (春光乍洩), 每日一禁果 (literally “A Forbidden Fruit-Once a Day”), he received many prestigious musical awards.
In 1999, he founded the music production company People Mountain People Sea (人山人海) with a group of talented artists and musicians in Hong Kong. The company produced and published albums not only for high-profiled Pop singers like Leslie Cheung, Faye Wong, Sandy Lam, Eason Chan, Nicholas Tse and Miriam Yeung, but also published works for other relatively “alternative/ experimental” singers, composers, bands and groups, such as at17 and PixelToy.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“In time your relatives will come to accept the idea that a career is as important to you as your family. Of course, in time the polar ice cap will melt.”
—Barbara Dale (b. 1940)
“I restore myself when I’m alone. A career is born in public—talent in privacy.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
