I was born and raised in Beijing, China, and grew up in the expat community as an American citizen. My mom is originally from Taiwan but grew up in the US from the age of 7 and my dad is from a small city in Eastern Washington. I've always struggled with my identity as a mixed person growing up in a different country other than the one written on my passport. I'm walking between two different cultures and trying to experience what it means to be Chinese or American or both.  This constant change in perspective and perception has led me to love the art of storytelling. I found a deep connection to films and writing songs and poetry. I craved to combine those two passions, I wanted to make music videos.

EDUCATION

I decided to go to college in NYC to study media and filmmaking in hopes of producing my own someday. While in school I continued writing and eventually discovered a wonderful community within the music scene. I decided to minor in contemporary music. I’m proud to say I have a BA in Culture and Media and graduated with Honors.

WHAT I’VE BEEN DOING

In my Junior year, I created a recurring rooftop show called The Indie Series to support independent musicians, having them share their music in an intimate and welcoming environment. 

Since finishing school I have released my debut single, continued to play live venue shows, and worked with local businesses such as Leesta Vall Records in recording my very own Direct-to Vinyl record. 

THE DREAM

My dream and goal is to create a multi-media production company. I want to collaborate with other artists in mixing mediums and creating new and innovative ways of telling stories. Whether it be in the form of a longer narrative music video, a concept album project, an experimental audio-mixed visual arts venture or simply playing with multiple genres of music or film. I want to create a space where the relationship between audio and visuals is highlighted and explored further.
