Li Jian (born 23 September 1974) is a Chinese singer. Before beginning his solo career, he was a member of the duo "Shui Mu Nian Hua". After his departure from the duo in 2002, he began his solo career. To date, he has produced eight albums. He is well known for his song "Chuan Qi" (Legend), which became a huge hit after Chinese diva Faye Wong performed it on the 2010 Spring Gala.[1]
In January 2015, Li Jian took part in Hunan Television's I Am a Singer Season 3, as the first substitute singer, and finished as runner-up, losing to Han Hong, but exploded in popularity due in part to his charming characteristics. On August 14, 2015, Jian was selected to be a team adviser for Team Na Ying on The Voice of China (season 4), along with A-mei, G.E.M., and JJ Lin. In March 2017, he returned to compete in the fifth season of I Am a Singer where he finished fourth. Between July to October 2018, Li Jian served as a coach on the third season of Sing! China (a rebranded version of The Voice of China), where he became the winning coach on his season debut.[2]
