Alex Liang Wong (born 1974) is an American record producer, multi-instrumentalist (including guitar, piano, drums, waterphone) and singer-songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee.

Wong released his first solo studio album: A City on a Lake (2012). He has written, co-written, produced and performed on numerous other albums, a partial list appears below in the Discography section.

For his engineering contribution to "Aire soy," track 2 of Miguel Bose's 2012 album Papitwo, Wong received a Latin Grammy nomination.

Wong began his career in 1997 when he joined The Din Pedals. Chosen for his classically trained percussion skills, Wong replaced James Grundler on the drums, with Grundler becoming the front-man for the group.

In 2002 Wong formed The Animators along with Devon Copley. They released a number of albums and were a force in the NYC music scene for five years.

Wong went on to form The Paper Raincoat with Amber Rubarth. The band released an EP and a self-titled album, earning a cult-like following. Paste Magazine labeled them "Best of What's Next" in 2010.

Wong has toured extensively with Vienna Teng. He co-produced her fourth album, Inland Territory, and co-wrote Antebellum (Track 3). Inland Territory won the ninth annual Independent Music Awards Vox Pop vote for best Folk/Singer-Songwriter Album.

He also appeared on Teng's fifth album, Aims, singing a duet with her on The Breaking Light (Track 8), a song they co-wrote.

In 2011 Wong collaborated with Paul Freeman on a project called Bellows.

He toured extensively with Ximena Sariñana. Sariñana sings on "Oceanside" (track 4 on A City on a Lake).
