Born in Inner Mongolia in 1979, Xiaoguang started playing classical guitar as a child, later switching to saxophone at the age of 15 when admitted to the Inner Mongolia School of the Arts. He started learning jazz a few years later, moving to Beijing in 1999. He joined the Canglang band led by Mongolian singer Teng Ge Er (playing keyboard) in 2001, then in 2002 joined the Beijing City Big Band, led by jazz pianist Xia Jia.
