Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources include: reputable newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and books from respected publishers. Unacceptable sources include: personal blogs, social media, predatory publishers, most tabloids, and websites where anyone can contribute. Replace any unreliable sources with high-quality sources. If you cannot find a reliable source for the material, it should be removed. This draft's references do not show that the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for music. The draft requires either: evidence that the subject meets any of the specific criteria for music; or multiple published secondary sources that: provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements; are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; are independent: not connected to the subject, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. It is often easier to prove the notability of an album or artist than an individual song or band member. If the subject is not yet notable, consider improving a relevant existing article instead.

Luke Chiang (born May 31, 2001) is a Taiwanese-American singer and songwriter known for his R&B-influenced pop sound and independently released music.^[1] He first gained attention in 2019 with the single “May I Ask” and later expanded his audience through streaming platforms where several of his songs accumulated millions of plays.^[2] In 2026, he released his debut studio album, TYPHOON.^[1]

Chiang grew up in Arizona, USA and developed an interest in music at a young age. At approximately nine years old he began singing with the Phoenix Boys Choir, which provided early vocal training and introduced him to structured choral performance.^[3] Participation in the choir played an essential role in Chiang’s musical development and helped establish his interest in singing and songwriting. Outside of choir participation, Chiang began experimenting with songwriting and instruments.^[4]

In an interview with HITZ conducted in October 2021, Chiang states that he draws influence and inspiration from contemporary R&B and soul musicians including Daniel Caesar, Kevin Garrett, and Tom Misch.^[5] Chiang also writes most of his songs, saying that he "writes to heal" and draws his inspiration from real-life events.^[5]

Chiang began releasing music independently in 2019. His debut single "May I Ask" was released in April 2019 as the start to his professional music career. The song quickly gained traction online, surpassing 100,000 streams within its first few weeks after release.^[4] Following the success of his debut, Chiang released another single titled "Shouldn't Be" in May 2019.^[1] The song quickly gained more popularity than his debut track, and "Shouldn't Be" exceeded one million streams by the end of that year.^[4]

After releasing "Shouldn't Be", Chiang would go on to release several more singles including, "Used to Me", "Home", and "Paragraphs."^[1] Music analytics sources estimate that Chiang’s catalog has since accumulated hundreds of millions of streams, with “Shouldn’t Be” becoming his most widely streamed song at nearly 300 million streams on Spotify.^[4][6]

Shortly after the release of several successful singles, Chiang was diagnosed with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), a medical condition affecting the throat and vocal cords. He was also diagnosed with muscle tension dysphonia, which can alter the sound and function of the voice.^[4]

The diagnoses significantly impacted his ability to sing and speak, forcing him to step back from music while seeking treatment and vocal rehabilitation. According to interviews, Chiang spent years working to recover his voice while continuing creative work outside of music.^[7] Despite these challenges, Chiang's music continued gaining streams and popularity online, with millions of streams across his discography.^[2]

In April of 2024, Chiang released another single "Never Tell" which marked the end of his hiatus to fans awaiting his return. Later in September of the same year, Chiang released "Static." Then, in late 2025 released two singles "what can i do?" and "terrible4u."^[1]

Just recently in February of 2026, Chiang was finally able to release his long-awaited studio album TYPHOON.^[2] The album includes 12 tracks and several features from other artists he collaborated with.^[8][9] In a recent interview with Bingkai Karya, Chiang says the title of his album, TYPHOON, was inspired by his latest trip to Taiwan, and the entirety of the album is based on his ongoing health issues, especially within the last four years.^[7] Despite his first-ever album having a melancholic sound and vibe, he also says he hopes to release more sweet-sounding and light-hearted music in the near future.^[7]
