It has been some time... I have had a jaw procedure and if I do not exercise it, the surgery is in vain. This creates more pain in the jaw and neck and I did not practice my violin for months.

What Was I Made For? was done some time ago. However, events recently changed my ideas on the movie Barbie. While I never considered myself a feminist per se, I encountered recently the difficulty women, especially minority women, face in many fields.. Though I do not consider myself very high, a few men began to abuse, bully, sabotage me in Spotify. This will happen in all fields, but I feel especially vulnerable because it is an art form. Bullying stifles creativity..The point is we should not be treated as property. Double standards because if we stand up for ourselves, we are deemed 'aggressive'.

Blissful and Beyond Album won third place Best Album (Sept ’24) Harvard College graduate with honors in Music and East Asian Languages and Civilizations.. I am a poet, dreamer; see my poems on Twitter. 

My songs tell stories of darkness evolving into light. I play piano lives on many medias - classical, jazz, neoclassical and somewhere in-between. My YouTube has over 640k views in classical, originals, jazz. Each of my feel-good orchestral works from Blissful and Beyond album has a story of gratitude.

New EP’s in progress in different genres. Disney/jazz (Once Upon a Time, Long,Long Ago);  Album, The Five Elements - wood, water, metal, earth, fire - elements intrinsic to ancient Chinese philosophy, poetry, landscape art.. works either sounds Chinese or western with Chinese philosophy behind it. Chopin EP with new and classic takes. 10 million+ Spotify streams.

Dawn of the morning lightly caresses
The moon touch of our hearts reveals 
In the blackest of nights..
In the breathlessness of circumstances 
The embracing hearts slowly heals..
