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 found popularity in the third season (2006) of a singing contest in China, Super Girls (Chinese: 超级女声) or Super Voice Girl. Polling over 350 thousand votes, she emerged as the champion of the Guang Zhou district competition, and was subsequently crowned second runner up during the finals. Her charismatic personality and androgynous looks, paired with a soulful vocal, has won her a lot of fans, who are known 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 went abroad for learning DJ and production, and her music genre turned to more International with EDM element in production. 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 and released 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, and she released the fifth album Coulomb Law in which herself is a 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. Born to a military family, she grew up bright and righteous, and once appeared in newspapers for having caught a thief[2][3]

Jeno 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] That affected her singing career adversely as she could not take part in most of the Super Girl touring concerts. After a speedy recovery, she immediately returned to the recording studio.
