CURRENT MISSION

Leave the world more beautiful than which I came.

ABOUT ME

I am from Vancouver, Canada and and living near Pasadena, California for school
I was the artistic director of an a cappella group in Taiwan for 6 years and I have returned to school to enhance my skills as a music producer. I love to share and bring music to people. I need adventure and try to live by the principle that character is how you treat people who can do nothing for you.

PHILOSOPHY

Compassion and humility

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a foreigner making a living performing and arranging a cappella music in a Chinese speaking country which got me a scholarship to study in LA... how surreal is that?

Teach, Learn, Share

There will be singing. Maybe duets. There will be beer. Hopefully locally produced. There will be lots of getting lost. It will be amazing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share music with you in anyway, shape, or form. This could mean harmonizing in a park, rocking a karaoke duet, or playing simple blues on the piano while you make coffee in the morning. Who knows!
