Jeno Liu Liyang (simplified Chinese: 刘力扬; traditional Chinese: 劉力揚; pinyin: Liú Lìyáng, born October 24, 1982) is a Chinese singer, DJ, producer, and actress. Jeno first gained popularity in the third season (2006) of the Chinese singing contest Super Girl (Chinese: 超级女声; Super Voice Girl).

She was awarded champion of the Guang Zhou district competition and was the second runner-up in the finals. She is known for her charismatic personality, androgynous looks, and soulful vocals. She refers to her fans as 'Li Zi' (Chinese: 栗子; English: Chestnut), derived from her middle name 'Li' (力).

On January 4, 2008, she joined HIM International Music.[1] In 2012, she traveled abroad to study DJing and music production, developing a more international style incorporating elements of EDM. After returning, she established a studio under her name and became the first female DJ star in China. In 2013, she worked with producers such as Dirtcaps, Freehand, Frankmusik, and Dexter King, releasing singles such as "Set You Free" and "I Can't Live Without You."

In 2017, she signed with Modernsky and became the biggest electronic artist under the label. She released her fifth album, Coulomb Law, in which she served as vocalist, songwriter, and producer. Meanwhile, she was invited by KFC to sing their anthem.

Biography

Jeno Liu was born on October 24, 1982, in Beijing, China. Raised in a military family, she grew up with a strong sense of righteousness and once appeared in newspapers for catching a thief.[2][3]

Jeno graduated from Luton University in England with a degree in Advertising and Marketing. She is bilingual in Mandarin and English.

In her first advertisement, she broke her leg when performing a stunt and was hospitalised for a few months, putting her budding career on hold.[4] This injury adversely affected her singing career as she could not participate in most of the Super Girl touring concerts. After a speedy recovery, she immediately returned to the recording studio.

In 2012, she went abroad to learn DJing and music production, which shifted her music genre to a more international style with EDM elements. After returning, she established a studio under her name and became the first female DJ star in China. In 2013, she worked with producers such as Dirtcaps, Freehand, Frankmusik, and Dexter King, releasing singles such as "Set You Free" and "I Can't Live Without You."

In 2017, she signed with Modernsky and became the biggest electronic artist under the label, releasing her fifth album, Coulomb Law, in which she served as vocalist, songwriter, and producer. Meanwhile, she was invited by KFC to sing their anthem.

On April 20, 2019, Jeno Liu performed in Malaysia at the Arena of Stars in Genting Resorts as part of an ensemble Mandopop concert featuring other Mandarin pop singers. She wore an oversized green striped outfit over a yellow inner outfit. Among the Mandarin pieces she performed, she also included an English song. Many of her performances featured EDM elements.
