About MP

Magic Power 魔幻力量

(Or MP魔幻力量) (Or just MP)
[Chinese characters pronounced "mó huàn lì liàng"]

Founded in 2008, the Taiwanese group officially made their debut on December 29, 2009 with their self-titled first album. The group consists of 2 vocalists, 1 guitarist, 1 bassist, 1 drummer and 1 DJ. MP's style, being a band, is grounded in rock, but they infuse elements of pop, hiphop and various electronic dance music (EDM) genres into their songs.

Fiercely charismatic on stage, MP's live performances are not to be missed. MP's love for music and performance is evident as they always bring their full energy to every single stage, whether large-scale or small-scale. Every performance feels like a party, so you can definitely be sure to enjoy yourself and have a good time whenever you watch MP perform.

In real life, the 6 members are very humble and care a lot about their fans. You can see their silly and dorky sides in all the various Behind The Scenes videos that they upload and it's clear that the members get along well with each other.

So, if you haven't fallen in love with MP yet, we hope you do so eventually. :)

[Edit 2016]: With pained hearts, we have to mention that on January 6th 2016, it was officially announced that Ga Ga/Chris will be leaving the band from February 2016 onwards. :(
Likewise, we regret to mention that on February 13th 2016, Ah Xiang/Sean announced his departure from the group. :(
However, we will not be removing their profiles from this page, because to us, Ga & Xiang will always be an inherent part of MP.
