Jang Li is a harmonica player and composer who has studied under the guidance of jazz pianist and composer 黃俊傑 and German jazz harmonica master Jens Bunge. His compositions and arrangements have been influenced by the mentorship of teachers Jan Tien-hao (冉天豪) and CHEN Chien-Chi(陳建騏). In 2009, at the World Harmonica Festival (WHF) in Germany, he achieved a historic milestone by winning dual championships in "Jazz Chromatic Harmonica" and "Blues/Rock/Folk/Country Diatonic Harmonica," becoming the first person in Asian history to accomplish such a feat. In 2013, he further solidified his position by winning the world championship in the trio category as the lead player of the chromatic harmonica.
In 2021, his composition suite titled "Three Scenes of Living" earned him the title of "2nd Runner-up" in The 1st Hong Kong International Composition Competition for Chromatic Harmonica 2021 (Solo Harmonica with Piano). Additionally, his single-movement harmonica concerto, "Brightness Hiding Fantasy," received the "Merit Award" in The 1st Hong Kong International Composition Competition for Chromatic Harmonica 2021 (Solo Harmonica with Orchestra), with support from the National Culture and Arts Foundation.
