Known as "The drummer" in Hong Kong, Jun Kung is an accomplished singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and music producer. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Macau, he began his professional drumming career when he was 14. A proud alumnus of the "DRUMMERS COLLECTIVE" in NYC, he studied under great drummers such as Kim Plainfield, Ian Froman & Daduka Fonseca. In the summer of 1999, he signed to a major label and released a self-produced album under Universal Music Group, which got multiple awards and the Best Newcomer Award of 1999. In 2001, he joined Guitar icon Paul Wong and formed the group HANN, consequently releasing 5 albums under Universal Music Group. He has been a first call-for-hire drummer on tours since 2004. In 2007, he embarked on his first biggest world tour "The Year Of Jacky Cheung World Tour ‘07" for all 105 shows in over 57 cities. Jun's next feat was touring for Hong Kong/China singer Eason Chan, as a drummer in the "DUO Eason 2010 Concert" held at the Hong Kong Coliseum consecutively from 20 March to 6 April 2010, and consequently continuing onto the "DUO World Tour" with the group. His concert tours also included Faye Wong, Sandy Lam, early Khalil Fong, Terry Lin, Na Ying, Liang Bo, Han Hong, Tanya Chua, A-Mei, Vinx, Stu Hamm, Eugene Pao, Phil Chang (Zhang Yu), Danny Summer, Karen Mok, Kenny Bee, Alan Tam and more, are considered one of the most iconic drummers in Hong Kong, Macau and the Greater China region. With multiple solo albums, countless production works, and over 200 released songs, he will continue touring, recording, and producing for major artists from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Greater China.
Jun Kung is an accomplished singer-songwriter and music producer. In 1999, he was signed to "Universal Music Group" and released his first EP Here & Now. The acclaimed singles "Shoe Size" and "Love Space" won him first place in the "Best New Artist" award at the Hong Kong Commercial Radio Music Award in 2000 and "Voice of the 21st Century award" from Metro Radio. His original songs "Here to Stay" and "兩心花" won "Best Original Film Song" in the 30th and 31st Hong Kong Film Awards respectively, followed by the "Best Rock Artist" award from Chinese Music Media Awards in 2013. 2019 as a co-producer he also has been awarded the "Best Album of the Year (Hong Kong, Taiwan & overseas regions) from "Beijing Pop Music Awards", and the "Best Duet Song" for "5:59 PM" from the Metro Radio Awards as the singer-songwriter, featuring Yoyo Sham.
He continues to tour and record extensively as well as give lectures and master classes. He believes the only way to give back is to keep performing, sharing, and giving young talented musicians a chance to make music their full-time job - a chance that was once given to him over 20 years ago.
Jun has recorded and released multiple solo albums, under major labels and also independently. He has scored over 10 full-length feature films and has held concerts as a solo artist yearly with audiences of up to around 3–4 thousand people per show. Jun also is venturing into different facets of his career and has been an ongoing supporter for charity organisations such as Hong Kong Dog Rescue.
