The Year of the Dragon
Kwong is the primary force behind A FISH CALLED PIRANHA (inspired by artists with band monikers such as Bon Iver, Diamond Rings, City & Colour, Owl City, Frightened Rabbit and Dave Grohl's early origins of Foo Fighters). From his metaphorical masterpiece of "Strange" and "Enter the Dragon" to the #1 independent-charted single "Skyjuice" to the sadness and powerful imagery of "The First Cut is the Deepest", "Dragonslayer", "Breathing in Liquid" and "And The Stars Come Out", Kwong stands beside modern rock poets Kurt Cobain, Leonard Cohen, Alanis Morissette, and Bono for inspiration. His signature acronyms and anagrams weaved into his poems show a different dimension of what each poem is about. Sometimes, they give the answer. Most of the songs were written in coffee shops scattered throughout British Columbia, Canada, or on pieces of paper inspired during many rainy drives. The songs were recorded in a boiler room, basement suite, and several studios in Vancouver, BC. A relative of Jackie Chan, Kwong lives in Port Coquitlam, BC, Canada.
