Lili Forest

25 Nov, both sessions

Born in 1995 and raised in Hong Kong and Beijing, the singer-songwriter Lili Forest (木子, meaning “the children of trees“) started his music career as a busker after dropping out from university. He debuted as the frontman of Hong Kong indie band Phoon with their self-titled album with a sold-out release show in 2018.

Lili Forest then debuted his first single “Island” in March 2019, selling out yet another show. He started his own independent label Melon Yeah Records and formed the band The Island in 2018 with his friends to perform his original material. With a sonic palette ranging from hearty folk ballads to urban acoustic R&B, his music dwells with genuine emotions and pop sensibilities throughout. Past performances and venues that Lili Forest has performed at include Clockenflap, The Weekend by Wow and Flutter, and Wakeup Festival in Taiwan.
