Composer. Pianist. Violinist. Live Streamer. Harvard College
My original works tell stories and conjure memories. I combine classical training and performance with modern soundscapes including the use of synths resulting in a blend of Eastern-Western techniques. I play with both acoustic and electronic soundscapes, but my ear dictates melodic sentiments. I was born in the USA and am second generation Taiwanese.
A Harvard graduate in both Music and East Asian Languages and Civilizations, I was a violinist but switched to composing and producing recently because of ongoing health problems and injuries. After many years of misdiagnoses, I was finally diagnosed with two brain tumors in early 2019, the larger an acoustic neuroma-type, growing on my balance/hearing nerve in the inner auditory canal. With surgery I was told by my first surgeon that I had a 50% chance to lose hearing in my left ear and that my balance would likely never be normal again. I went to another surgeon who had training in endoscopic, more minimally-invasive techniques for challenging skull-base cases and luckily my hearing remained after the November '19 surgery. I'm glad that I can still share my music.. I consider myself more of a musician than a pianist having spent more time growing up playing violin. I have brushed up on my piano and it is now my main instrument for melodies and improvs. My violin has passed through many generations of musicians. I am glad to have both in my small family.. 
Watch for my new piano solo 'Erin' on YouTube now and coming to streaming in May..
The Amaryllis in my garden - symbolizing strength, determination, beauty, and love - inspire me.
