BIOGRAPHY
I am is a London-based creative, with a BA in Classics from UCL and a MMus in Musicology and Ethnomusicology from King’s College London.
Born in Taipei, raised and based in London, UK and open to working remotely as well as in person. Having studied both Classical Civilisation (with a specific interest in Greek poetry and epics ) and Musicology, I am a multi-faceted yet overall creatively inclined person. More specifically, I started playing the clarinet at 8 years old, before branching out into playing flute and saxophone as well, culminating in a DipLCM in Tenor Saxophone and ABRSM Grade 8 in clarinet, flute and music theory. I am currently working as a freelance arranger and musician, as well as branching into writing.
