MoShang is a downtempo Musician and Music Producer originally from South Africa. He is referred to as the Sound Jeweler and has been living in Taiwan since 2003.

Early Life and Musical Background

MoShang is the Chinese moniker of SESAC affiliated composer Jean Marais. He began as a choral singer in the early 1980s in Cape Town, South Africa – at which time he acquired his first computer, a Commodore VIC-20. It would take some time, however, for his love of music and computers to find its ideal expression. Marais first earned acclaim as lead singer/frontman of the South African art-rock band Duusman and as saxophonist for the group Tsunami; he also served as producer on three award-winning albums honoring poet Breyten Breytenbach and formed half of the Afrikaans pop duo 12 Hz with Riku Lätti.
