Youdai Zhang
Music Radio DJ Youdai is well recognised as a pioneer behind the emergence of the electronic music scene in China.

He was the first DJ to popularise new genres of music in the capital, Beijing.

DJ Youdai began by playing The Beatles and mainstream western rock to his listeners.

Rock music has been popular in the western world for over 50 years, yet no one in China knew anything about it.

His radio programmes New Music Magazine and Listen FM are among the most influential music programmes in China.

He has been invited and attended the US Grammys, Holland Haig Jazz festivals, Zurich Electronic Festivals and the Denmark Roskilded Festival where he broadcast the events direct to a Chinese audience.

He has also helped bring big western names to China, such as The Prodigy and Suede, by producing gigs in China.

He is also a party promoter, event organizer, music producer and club owner.

At the end of his shows he always signs off with the words "Music can change the world".
