He holds a Master's degree of Music from New York University and a Bachelor's degree of Music from Hong Kong Baptist University. His principal teachers have included Jonathan Haas, Simon Boyar, James Saporito, Lung Heung-wing and James Boznos. Lau is currently a part-time lecturer at Hong Kong Baptist University's Department of Music. 
 
     Lau has performed in cities around the world, including Buenos Aires, Perth, Brisbane, Boston, New York, Montclair, Gettysburg, Aspen, Brooklyn, Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong. As an avid chamber musician, he is a co-founder and member of the percussion duo Fisher/Lau Project with Abby Fisher.
 
     As Lau pursues a strong interest in contemporary percussion music, his vision and aesthetic seek to expand the ever-growing percussion repertoire by pushing existing boundaries, incorporating electronics and other technologies as well as discovering new sounds. His interest in exploring new music has led him to commission new pieces with many renowned composers.
