SRP debuted as MSN Music's "New Artist of the Week" in January 2006. He quit his day job and began apprenticing with Leslie, "learning his way around drum machines and mixing desks and devouring a history of hip-hop that he had missed the first time around." He sold his first song to R&B singer Carl Thomas and soon created his own group The Shanghai Restoration Project. In 2003, Liang reconnected with his college classmate Ryan Leslie, who was working as a producer with Bad Boy Records. After work he would spend his evenings looking for jazz gigs at various bars. He attended college at Harvard and upon graduation moved to NYC to work as a consultant. He started learning classical piano at an early age but transitioned towards jazz after hearing Miles Davis' "So What" in high school. Producer Dave Liang was born in Lawrence, Kansas and grew up in Upstate New York.
