Lobo joined the "Focus" band in the 1990s and was active in the Macau band; later formed the "Dongfanghong" band with Zhida (now L.A.V.Y. lead vocal), Xuan, Joaquim and Fi (now Forget the G drummer); American post-grunge style, evolved into the later British rock style. The band has participated in various local concerts of various sizes. Two of their songs were included on the vinyl compilation album "Colonial Sick". The band disbanded in 1998, and Lobo soon formed a local legend with a group of like-minded friends - "Dr.".
The appearance of "Dr." can be said to have had a big impact on the band's scene in Macau at that time! Because it is the first local band to combine electronic music, hip-hop and rock music, it is also the first team in the world to combine Cantonese rapping with drum&bass rhythm. Their music not only played a revolutionary role in the Macao music circle, but also inspired the younger generation of musicians to start producing their own electronic music. In 2017, Lobo teamed up with six local musicians to form Macao's first folk music ensemble "Asura". The musical instruments played by the band members include the Australian indigenous horn Didgeridoo, the African hand drum Djembe, the African sand bell Asalato and the percussion hand Handpan that has emerged in Europe in recent years.
