Early life and career
Tuason was born in Hong Kong, the son of Bading Tuason, musical director for the Hong Kong Hilton from 1968 - 1996. In 1982, Tuason became assistant to Joseph Koo, one of the most respected composers in Hong Kong, known as the Godfather of Cantopop. Koo became Tuason's mentor in his musical career and entry into the Hong Kong music business.
Andy Lau
Tuason began producing Andy Lau of The Four Heavenly Kings in 1988. Tuason continued producing, arranging and composing for seven albums by Andy Lau from 1988 - 1996.
EMI Asia
Tuason became A&R Director for EMI Asia from 1996 - 1999. During this time, he was in charge of the repertoire of all of EMI Hong Kong's recording artists.
Jacky Cheung
Tuason began arranging for Jacky Cheung in 1985 until the present. In 2004, Tuason conducted Jacky Cheung's musical production "Snow.Wolf.Lake".
In 2009, Tuason produced Jacky Cheung's "Private Corner" album. It is Cheung's first jazz album for which he coined the phrase "Canto-jazz". "Everyday Is Christmas", "Which Way, Robert Frost?", " Let It Go", "Lucky in Love" and "Double Trouble" were co-written by Roxanne Seeman in collaboration with Tuason, tailor-made for Cheung. "Lucky in Love" is the end-credit song of "Crossing Hennessy", Hong Kong movie starring Jacky Cheung and Tang Wei, produced by William Kong. Nokia’s music download service website (Ovi.com) announced that "Everyday Is Christmas" was the 10th most downloaded Christmas song in the world in 2010, joining classic hits such as Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’ and Mariah Carey’s "All I Want for Christmas is You". Cheung is the only Chinese language singer to make it into the Top Ten.
