Li Jian (born 23 September 1974) is a Chinese singer best known for his poetic musical style.^[1] His career began as one of the two founding members of the band "Shui Mu Nian Hua." After his departure from the band in 2002, he began his solo career. To date, he has produced nine albums. He is well known for his song "Chuan Qi" (Legend), which became a hit song after Chinese diva Faye Wong performed it on the 2010 Spring Gala.^[2]

In January 2015, Li Jian took part in Hunan Television's I Am a Singer Season 3, as the first substitute singer, and finished as runner-up, losing to Han Hong. However, he exploded in popularity due to his personality and musical style. On 14 August 2015, Li was selected to be a team adviser for Team Na Ying on The Voice of China (season 4), along with A-mei, G.E.M., and JJ Lin. In March 2017, he returned to compete in the fifth season of I Am a Singer where he finished fourth. Between July and October 2018, Li Jian served as a coach on the third season of Sing! China (a rebranded version of The Voice of China), where he became the winning coach on his season debut.^[3] In 2020, from August to November, he returned to Sing! China as a coach for its fifth season, ultimately winning a second time.^[4]
