Life and career

edit

Eric Kwok was born on 3 February 1974, in Hong Kong. He moved to the United States at the age of 13 and later graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles majoring in communication.[1] His passion for music started when he received a piano keyboard as a gift from his mother and would spend ten hours a day playing with it. His father is a former lawyer. Although initially not supportive of Kwok's music career, he eventually cried after listening to his first solo album Eric Kwok Collection, released in 2004.[2] Kwok returned to Hong Kong and launched his first songwriting credit in 1997 with Leon Lai's "If You Are at My Home Tonight", under the pen name Moz. He is a former member of the music duo Swing from 1999 to 2002. Over the years, he has written and produced hits for various artistes, including Leon Lai, Eason Chan, Cass Phang, and Kay Tse, to name a few.[3] In 2022, Kwok took on the role of coaching supervisor in the TVB's singing competition show Stars Academy 2.[4]
