李劲松是世界实验音乐圈最活跃的香港人,从事音乐事业已超过20年。创办“亚洲传声”，这间在华人地区独立音乐场景中最重要的唱片公司作为起点，李劲松在20多年的时间里，参与和从事过包括独立音乐的唱片发行和代理、音乐创作、出版、版权代理、媒体宣传、演出组织等工作。他对华人地区的实验与独立音乐场景有着非常大的贡献。
1996年，李劲松首张个人专辑《PAST》在John Zorn的Tzadik唱片公司出版。从此他便踏上了音乐创作的道路。他的音乐风格多样，从Avant Garde到具象、新古典到工业噪音、跳舞音乐或电声民族爵士皆广泛涉猎。李劲松拥有多个创作代号并与不同的音乐家组成乐队或组合。例如DJ Dee用以创作实验电子，Li Chin Sung则专注具象和Avant Garde，PNF则是专为创作工业噪音而设，Khoomi Sound Machine，则是他开始电声民族爵士的尝试的又一新的代号，在这队融合了蒙古长调、自由爵士和实验电子的乐团里，李劲松负责电子原音、采样、唱盘等声响的设计。多年来，与李劲松合作过的音乐家或艺术家，足够写成一幅当代音乐场景的地图。
