About the artist
Liu Jia-Kai, born on February 5, 1982, is a Taiwanese male musician, Sodagreen guitarist, and composer for film and television. In 2003, Liu Jia-Kai joined Sodagreen with Ho Jing-Yang and Kung Yu-Chi, establishing the group's subsequent lineup.
Sodagreen began a hiatus after its performance on January 1, 2017. Liu Jia-Kai then went to Berklee College of Music in Boston, United States, to study composition and guitar, and formed the limited-time group Knock Nak with 歐陽娜娜 and others.
Liu Jia-Kai had difficulty readjusting when he returned to work with the group after studying in the United States. When he rejoined the group in 2020, he was at one point unable to play guitar normally. He recalled, "At the time, no matter what I did, I couldn't play the guitar. It was something I'd been doing for 20 years, and I'd spent time studying further—so why was I still like this?" Liu Jia-Kai also compared this setback with the problems he encountered around the time of Sodagreen's first album, noting that he could not write notation in his early years and later went to Berklee to study composition and guitar.
That same year, at Ho Jing-Yang's invitation, Liu Jia-Kai participated in the sixth "臺北音樂不斷電" original music selection event, serving as a training mentor alongside Ho Jing-Yang, 蔡坤奇, 黃少雍, 沈聖哲, and others.
In 2023, Liu Jia-Kai worked on a film score and founded his personal brand. At director 程偉豪's invitation, Liu Jia-Kai scored the film "關於我和鬼變成家人的那件事" and established his personal music brand K6. He also sang the film insert song "Come with Me" as lead vocalist and invited actor 林柏宏 to sing with him.
His other screen and performance projects include creating a new arrangement for the presentation of "城現光龍," the main lantern at the Taipei Lantern Festival, and composing the complete score for the Netflix series "正港分局" and releasing its soundtrack.
Liu Jia-Kai has also appeared on camera, playing a traffic police officer in "池塘怪談" in 2021 and the keeper of a token in 詹朴's "故事奪還者" in 2022.
