About

Multidisciplinary musician and performer based in Leeds, UK.

Over the years, I have written and performed as a solo artist and with bands across the UK and Taiwan, working as a composer, guitarist, bassist, vocalist, and percussionist. My work spans original music, soundtracks, and live performance, with a strong focus on storytelling through sound.

In 2025, I completed an MA with Merit in Music at Leeds Conservatoire while funding my studies as a freelance content creator, editor, and consultant for educational organizations. Since then, I have continued to compose soundtracks, contribute to student productions, and provide educational media content for various clients and platforms.
