The veteran Hong Kong singer songwriter, music producer, writer, TV presenter and traveller started his independent label‘LYFE Music’ in 2003 which has been bringing a handful of music related projects to life: Lam's 18 own studio albums in Cantonese, Mandarin and English, 9 bestselling books, concerts for himself and other independent acts.

In additional to pending national Pop hits for other artists such as Eason Chan, Stephanie Sun, Dadawa, Gigi Leung, in 2015 Lam founded a crowd funding website www.MusicBee.cc with fellow musicians Vicky Fung, Victor Tse and creative team Why Interactive, dedicated to Chinese independent music artists.
