In 2007, after a successful run with the band Whence He Came, singer Joshua Wong recruited a group of musicians to accompany him during live performances of his new project, Noughts and Exes. The group released their first album, Act One, Scene One, in 2008. In 2009, Wong and a fresh roster of musicians worked on new material and a year later, The Start of Us was released. In 2014, the group issued their third, and last, studio album, titled Noughts and Exes, which debuted with a viral flash mob musical performance of the single "Hearts" at Times Square in Hong Kong.[3]
Wong died on 25 December 2020 from adenoid cystic carcinoma.[4] [5]
