When Huang came to Taiwan to study, he joined the local Cloud Gate Dance Theater, and then began teaching the lion drum at the U Theater. It was while discussing drums with U Theater leader Liu Ching-mei that the two discovered they had a common interest in Ondekoza and in finding their inner selves through drums.
他到台灣求學後，曾經參加雲門舞集，也曾應邀在優劇場教獅鼓，與團長劉靜敏談起打鼓，兩人都為鬼太鼓的聲勢震撼，也想透過打鼓往內心追尋，找回自己的根源。
