Johnny Yim Lai-hang, a Hong Kong native, was born on August 12, 1977, to a family with a rich musical background. His mother was a musician, and his father was a dance choreographer. He began playing the piano at the age of six and pursued a mathematics major in college while living in Canada. Despite not obtaining a formal music degree, Yim's passion for music led him to self-study, which ultimately paid off when he won the 16th C.A.S.H. Songwriting Quest in 2004 upon returning to Hong Kong. Since then, Yim has worked with numerous prominent artists, such as Alan Tam, Hins Cheung, Gigi Leung, Hacken Lee, AGA, Joyce Cheng, and Alfred Hui, among others. In addition to composing and producing music, Yim is also known for his exceptional arranging skills, which earned him the moniker "Arrangement Knight." In 2017, Yim founded the Gsus Music Ministry to promote Cantonese Christian music. He also served as the music director for TVB's singing competition Stars Academy from 2021 to 2022. Throughout his career, Yim has crafted hundreds of arranged pieces and worked on various albums and soundtracks.
