Over six weeks, the American musician flew to Beijing twice for the program, which ended in the middle of January, when he had to head back to the US to perform with Diana Ross.
Powell began working as a professional musician immediately after high school, when his family moved to Los Angeles.
"Since I got out of high school, I looked in the city to see what bands were playing and who was famous and I wanted to play with them," he says.
"I went to them saying that I wanted to play in the band. Most of the time, they would say OK. Because I practiced a whole lot, I became very good soon."
Powell achieved his five-band high school dream, playing with Stevie Wonder among others.
