In 2007, he participated in the global launch events for Tenori-On, an instrument designed by Toshio Iwai. Previous members have included Jim Guthrie, Samir Khan, Gus Weinkauf, Simon Osbourne and Jeremy Strachan. The I am Robot and Proud live band consists of Toronto musicians Robin Buckley, Mike Smith and Jordan Howard. The recording was prompted by the composing of band-focused arrangements of his previous work. While Liem generally writes and records on his own, 2015's Lights and Waves is the first album conceived and recorded with Liem's live band. He has also been a member of Sea Snakes and Tusks, and has worked with Jim Guthrie and Nathan Lawr. Classically trained as a pianist, Liem taught himself how to play guitar and began creating electronic music under the name I Am Robot and Proud in 2000 while completing a degree in computer science. Liem was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario.
