Biography
Jeno Liu was born on October 24, 1982, in Beijing, China.
Jeno graduated from Luton University in England with a degree in Advertising and Marketing. She is bilingual in Mandarin and English. Jeno first came to prominence after an appearance in the third season (2006) of the Chinese singing contest Super Girl (Chinese: 超级女声; Super Voice Girl). She became champion for the Guangzhou district and second runner-up in the finals. She calls her fans 'Li Zi' (Chinese: 栗子; English: Chestnut), derived from her middle name 'Li' (力).
In her first advertisement, she broke her leg when performing a stunt and was hospitalised for a few months, putting her career on hold. This injury adversely affected her singing career as she could not participate in most of the Super Girl touring concerts. After recovering, she returned to the recording studio. On January 4, 2008, she joined HIM International Music.
In 2012, she traveled abroad to study DJing and music production, developing a more international style incorporating elements of EDM. 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, releasing singles such as "Set You Free" and "I Can't Live Without You."
In 2017, she signed with Modernsky, releasing her fifth album, Coulomb Law, in which she served as vocalist, songwriter, and producer. Meanwhile, she was invited by KFC to sing their anthem.
On April 20, 2019, Jeno Liu performed in Malaysia at the Arena of Stars in Genting Resorts as part of an ensemble Mandopop concert featuring other Mandarin pop singers. Among the Mandarin pieces she performed, she also included an English song. Many of her performances featured EDM elements.
