LINION

In the Taiwanese music scene, LINION is renowned for his Neo-Soul and R&B style. He is also a rare singer-songwriter who primarily performs with the bass guitar. Growing up in the seaside Tamsui District of New Taipei City, surrounded by mountains and rivers, LINION’s lyrics and melodies are relatable, and his vocal delivery is laid-back and mellow. He often expresses the joys and sorrows of urban youth in his songs. Some of his notable works include “Room 335,” “Can’t Find,” “Oh Girl,” and “Mountain Dude.” After graduating from the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, LINION released his debut album, Me In Dat Blue, in 2018, which quickly earned him a nomination for Best R&B Album at the 10th Golden Indie Music Awards. His sophomore album, Leisurely, released in 2020, offered a spiritual cure to the social anxieties of city life. It not only made the list of Top 10 Albums of 2020 by leading radio station Hit Fm but won the Best R&B Album at the 12th Golden Indie Music Awards. Beyond his solo work, LINION has frequently collaborated with Japanese musicians such as THREE1989, illmore, and chilldspot, culminating in multiple singles earning over a million streams. In 2023, LINION’s long-awaited third album, HIDEOUT, which incorporates folk elements into R&B, aims to create a sonic sanctuary where the inner secrets of fans can find solace.
