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.
Songs
Achord has composed many songs for Taiwanese dramas such as KO One's 終極一班, where he helped to write the lyrics, Gou Ai(够爱) from The X-Family (2007), and recently, 你曾經讓我心動 Ni Cen Jing Rang Wo Xin Dong from They Kiss Again(2007).
He has also helped Danson Tang 唐禹哲 write the song 只欠一句我愛你 in Danson's 1st debut album, Ai Wo / 愛我.

我还是一个在别人眼中 不可能被改变的石头
你也曾听过我的过去 很花心
很叛逆 就像哈利波特一直有稀奇
你还是不顾一切相信我 相信石头会被感动 oh
是你的那些包容 让执迷不悟的我 有了重生的念头
能有多快乐 是你给的 oh
当你说你会紧紧牵住我的手
我所有快乐 是你给的 oh
当你说你会永远守护保护我
从今以后要一起加油 yeah~打钩钩
以前我总是认为 男子汉不讲心事
因为不干你的事 请原谅我的幼稚
以前你之后每天向你倾诉
来到了你的面前 诚实的像个孩子
曾经我不相信人心 你让我相信上帝
你让我相信这个世界还是会有奇迹
你怎么可以 如此的透明 让我更加的爱你

The lyrics to A Chord's song The Rock talk about transformation and love. The singer, once considered a stubborn and unchangeable stone in the eyes of others, had a past filled with promiscuity and rebellion. However, the person singing the song assures the listener that they were able to change because of the love and forgiveness of their partner who believed in them even when they didn't believe in themselves. The chorus talks about how the singer's happiness comes from their partner and how their partner's love gives them strength to face the future. The song ends with the singer no longer wandering aimlessly and being filled with hope because of their partner's love.
The theme of transformation is central to this song - how love can change a person for the better. The song also highlights the power of forgiveness, understanding and support in a relationship. The lyrics overall portray a strong sense of gratitude towards the singer's partner who has stood by them through thick and thin.
In terms of musical style, The Rock is a pop ballad with a mid-tempo beat. The song has a catchy chorus that is sung with a lot of emotion. The instruments used in the song include piano, guitar, and drums. A Chord's vocals are also fantastic in this song and adds to the overall message of the song.

Really enjoy you lessons Lauren. I use to be mostly strumming and have learned so much more watching your videos. Am getting a really big kick out of picking and the various formats and applications. Am a senior that enjoys advancing and growing with the guitar. Struggling with the power chords though. Not enough strength to do the Barr. Keep the lessons coming though. You are one of the best.

Thank you! 😃
