Not rigidly adhere to the usual hip hop genre, diverse musical path has been the Lil man's personal style. He never confines to existing framework.  He has always escaped the logic of common sense thinking  and relies on keen insight that discovers on unique phenomena & issue which he then presents lyrics on macro and micro level.

不拘泥於饒舌歌手慣用的嘻哈曲風,多元的音樂路線一直是小人的個人風格,從不將自己局限於既有框架,跳脫常理的思維邏輯,靠著敏銳的洞察力,發現獨樹一格的現象與事件,宏觀和微觀的交織在歌詞中表現的淋漓盡致。

About Hello taiwan

The origin of Hello Taiwan dates back to 2010, when members of the New York Taiwanese American community sensed a disconnect from younger generations interested in music. The idea to bridge the gap was simple: host a rock concert at the Taiwan Center around Thanksgiving, providing the perfect opportunity to blend community, family, and great music. 

​The influence of the concert continued to grow, and in 2012 Taiwanese bands took to the road for an east coast music tour under then “Hello Taiwan Tour” name. The tour was a major success, allowing the artists to promote their music and Taiwan at the same time. The tour has deep ties with the Passport to Taiwan Festival that takes place on Union Square each year to celebrate Taiwanese American Heritage Week designated by the US Congress in 1999.
