"Being a Taiwanese- Canadian musician in the United States, I often find myself struggling to define my culture and music. While having studied Traditional Chinese and Indian music, my music is primarily composed in Western notation. I like to compose memorable motifs, or circle around a tonal centre. In recent years, I am trying to compose music that are both inspired by my Taiwanese and Canadian heritage."
