Welcome to my world of sound and storytelling.

I am currently a graduate student at BerkleeNYC, specializing in Songwriting & Production, with a foundation in music from my undergraduate studies at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music in China. My journey in music has been a continuous exploration of blending the old and the new—nostalgia and innovation.

As a vocalist, my voice is often described as ethereal and melodic, with airy, shimmering high notes that float like a mist and rich, resonant low tones that cut through space. My sound carries the texture of cool air, yet it leaves a warm and lasting impression—contradictory, yet comforting.

“Walking in the memories of the future.”

This phrase encapsulates my creative essence. I embrace the beauty of contradictions: nostalgic yet forward-looking, melancholic yet healing. My music draws from the soulful traditions of R&B, jazz, and pop, while intertwining the pulsing rhythms and textures of contemporary electronic and club grooves.

Through my art, I aim to explore whimsical thoughts, complex emotions, and self-healing, creating a soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive.

Thank you for joining me on this journey—where lush harmonies, rhythmic intricacies, and heartfelt storytelling come together to create something uniquely me.
