Lai was selected to be the ambassador of the 6th Winter Asian Games to be held Changchun in 2007. In 2004, he became the first Hong Kong singer to represent the territory at the first Asia Song Festival held in South Korea.
In 2002 he was selected to sing "Charged Up", the 2002 FIFA World Cup theme song for the Greater China region. Two years later in 1998, he became the first Hong Kong singer to reach the Top 10 K-pop chart with the song "After Loving You." In 1996, he collaborated with composer-producer Steve Barakatt on his album "Feel". He followed up to win the "Most Popular Male Singer" award in 19 for TVB Jade Solid Gold. In 1990 he won his first 1990 Jade Solid Gold Top 10 Awards and 1990 RTHK Top 10 Gold Songs Awards. In the early stages of his career, he mainly sang Cantopop and Mandarin, but due to the influence of producer Mark Lui, he expanded his repertoire to include popular electronic songs with compelling music videos. In Polygram, he released his first album "Leon" and subsequent album "Meet in the Rain". As a result, his teacher, Dai, arranged to have him signed a contract with Polygram, later known as Universal Music. He did not release any albums for four years. In the same year he signed with Capital Artists. After being awarded second-runner-up in the 1986 New Talent Singing Awards, Lai received vocal coaching from Dai Si Zong ( 戴思聰).
Lai initially worked as a salesperson for a mobile phone company. At the age of 15, he attended Lewisham College in the United Kingdom, but returned to Hong Kong at 18 in 1984. He migrated with his Indonesian Chinese father, Lai Xinsheng, to Hong Kong. Lai was born in Beijing, China as Lai Chit ( 黎 捷), initially, but opted for Lai Ming instead.
