Tang's love for music began at an early age.

He started piano lessons at age six, and later played the tuba in his secondary school band.

The young Tang did not find the tuba particularly interesting to play as there were not usually many parts in a musical composition that involved the instrument.

However, this lack of activity turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it gave him the opportunity to observe what the other musicians in the band were doing and how all the parts fit together in a musical composition.

Tang began writing music even as a student.

His interest in music grew and he went on to helm a Christian gospel pop group.

He also played bass guitar while in Anglo-Chinese Junior College and later on in the army band.

Tang enrolled at York University in Toronto, Canada with the support of his parents.

In November 2011, he took on a new role as Dean at School of the Arts.
