ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Shanghai, I was trained as a piano/French horn player since childhood. My continuous participation in both choirs and orchestras allowed me to develop a thorough understanding of music. Unsatisfied to just play music, I decided to play with music by founding Happy Records, an independent record label and record store that shares and publishes musical works.

How Did I Start?

IT ALL BEGAN WITH MY MOTHER’S IPOD NANO 6. I WOULD PUT MY HEADPHONES ON ON EVERY BUS RIDE TO SCHOOL WHEN I WAS 13. THE COMPACT MEDIA PLAYER HAD ALMOST ALL OF MY MOTHER’S CD COLLECTION IN IT. HERBIE HANCOCK, JOHN COLTRANE, ROBBIE WILLIAMS, TRACY CHAPMAN…AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, 50 CENT’S GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN’. THE CLASSIC ALBUM INTRODUCED ME TO HIP-HOP AND SET ME ON THE JOURNEY OF MUSIC PRODUCTION AND EXPLORATIONS IN THE FUSION OF ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC.
