Artist Statement The Shanghai Restoration Project

Traditional Chinese instruments meet hip-hop and electronica

The Shanghai Restoration Project (TSRP) draws its creative inspiration from the old 1930s Shanghai jazz bands, an early combination of East and West that's become an international legend. Produced by Chinese-American Dave Liang, TSRP revives this exotic blend by introducing Eastern instruments and rhythms to the Western sounds of hip-hop and electronica.

TSRP debuted as MSN Music's "New Artist of the Week" in early 2006 and became the #1 electronic album on the site during the month of January. Since then his projects have reached #1 on several electronic charts around the world. In 2007, TSRP partnered with China Records (the Chinese government's record label) to produce Remixed and Restored Vol. 1, a project remixing select classic Chinese hits from 1930s Shanghai.

TSRP songs have been used in numerous television shows, films, and commercials around the world. Select placements include: advertisements for LVMH/Kenzo Parfums (Europe), Dove (US), and TIM mobile (Brazil), NBC and BBC broadcast coverage of the Beijing Olympics, Showtime’s “The L Word,” and promotional campaigns for Microsoft, SanDisk, Hilton Hotels, and Coca-Cola.

TSRP can be purchased on Amazon (CD and mp3), iTunes, and eMusic.
