Biography

Childhood

a Chord was named Xie He Xian (謝和弦) by his grandfather. His name "He Xian" (和弦) means chords in English. He started to play the guitar from a very young age due to the influences of his grandfather whom he looks up to as a role model.

Not very good in his studies, he started song composing, following the steps of his grandfather.

By the year 2004, at the tender age of 16, a Chord has composed around 50-60 songs and clinched first place in a songwriting competition. Many people were amused by his funny self when he attended Guess Guess Guess during the competition period and were also amazed by his songwriting abilities. The prize was supposed to be a contract with record label, HIM International but Achord did not take up the offer of the contract and instead, went to play underground music with his band, SEA-LEVEL (海平面).

2005

Achord made his first acting debut in KO One(终极一班) as Sha Yu/鲨鱼, following up with many other appearances in other Taiwanese dramas. He can be most remembered by many for acting as the character Da Shu/大树, who was a little eccentric and claimed that he could see spirits, in Hua Yang Shao Nian Shao Nu(花样少年少女) in the year 2006.
