Summary

Born and raised in China, I began playing piano in early childhood and developed a diverse musical background influenced by Asian ancient music, Western classical, jazz, rock, opera, and contemporary styles. Since relocating to the NY/NJ area in the early 2000s, I have actively pursued composition, embracing experimental innovations and collaborating with musicians across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
