Li, a British Hong Kong musician, is co-founder and one of two lead guitarists for DragonForce, whose energetic and humorous live performances have won them fans on every continent.

DragonForce’s music is featured in 10 different video games, including “Guitar Hero – Warriors of Rock,” “Guitar Hero – Greatest Hits,” “Rockband VR,” “Rocksmith,” “Clone Hero,” “Audica,” and “Guitar Hero 3 – Legends of Rock.” Li is best known for the RIAA Certified Platinum Single “Through the Fire and Flames,” which is the most challenging song on Guitar Hero 3. The song also features Li creating several intriguing Pac-Man-like noises in the song.

Li also recently started to use a device called the Hot Hand that sits on his right hand like a ring, which causes extreme vibrato when shaken, giving him a greater capacity to emulate certain video game sounds with his guitar. Li has stated Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Tony MacAlpine, and late Eddie Van Halen are his guitar heroes and their playing has heavily inspired his style. Li is left-handed but plays guitar right-handed.

DragonForce is also a Spotify verified artist with 1.5M monthly listeners.
