Formed in 1983, BEYOND became one of the most influential and enduring rock bands in Chinese music history, blending Western rock influences with poignant Cantonese lyrics.

Beyond music, Yip has also ventured into production and collaboration with various artists, cementing his legacy as a key figure in Hong Kong’s rock scene. His influence remains strong, with generations of fans and musicians drawing inspiration from his work.
