He was signed to Warner Hong Kong as a solo artist in September 2003 after a friend, Candy Hung, helped pass his demo tape to composer and producer, Joannes Lam.
He currently has three releases: the 'Endy Chow EP', 'Greenhouse Balloon' and recently his new album 'Light'.
In 2005, he performed in the male lead role in Denise Ho's stage musical, "The Butterfly Lovers".
