About the artist
Ho Jing-Yang was born in Taichung on April 4, 1982, and is the acoustic guitarist and bandleader of the Taiwanese band Sodagreen. In March 2003, Ho Jing-Yang joined together with Liu Jia-Kai and Kung Yu-Chi, establishing the band's lineup.
Military service temporarily kept Ho Jing-Yang from some of the band's activities. He enlisted for alternative service on November 22, 2010. While serving, he did not take part in promotion for the album "你在煩惱什麼," though he did participate in its recording. After completing his service and returning to the band on December 22, 2011, the band continued the Vivaldi Project it had already begun.
After the band announced its hiatus in 2017, Ho Jing-Yang founded 華山站貨場. For two consecutive years he held the large family amusement event "達斯克樂園" in Taipei, and in 2018 he led an arts team in producing the Taipei Lantern Festival. In 2019, Ho Jing-Yang toured Taiwan with "曙光祭"; during this period he also produced songs for emerging bands, founded a company, and signed 鹿洐人. Discussing the concept behind "曙光祭," Ho Jing-Yang said, "Sustainable living has already become a global trend. What 曙光祭 wants to do is not clean up trash, but bring a 'zero-waste' DNA into everyone's life, so people can start in their daily lives and reduce the waste of resources."
When the members deconstructed the band's name, the group renamed itself 魚丁糸, and Ho Jing-Yang used the name "可田." After regaining its original name, the band gave its first concert in May 2023 at the National Theater and Concert Hall plaza. Discussing the period when they could not use the original band name, Ho Jing-Yang said, "I'm pretty optimistic. If we couldn't use Sodagreen for a while, then we'd be 魚丁糸. If the mountain won't move, take another road; once you're aboard the ship, be a happy pirate!"
