Biography

I had my ‘Ah ha!’ moment while attending a concert with a solo double bass in Hong Kong. I was transfixed by the expressiveness and range of the double bass on that night and made the decision to switch from piano to double bass then and there.

Graduating from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and obtaining my master degrees in Guildhall School of Music and Drama, I have found my strength lies in collaborating with people through making music with this incredibly versatile instrument; the double bass.

Since I was twelve, I have been attending orchestras. My brother, a violinist, was often in the lime light. However as a then pianist, I wasn’t always required to perform. My dream has been to join the orchestra, and double basses are always needed! Initially I taught myself but after undergoing formal education at the university and conservatory with Miss Olive Chan, Miss Feng Rong, Prof Luis Cabrera, Prof Marco Bethash, Prof Nicholas, my technique has improved tremendously.

My twenties so far have been full of adventures. Before I decided to become a professional double bassist, I joined a start up primary school in Hong Kong as the head of music for 2 years. Now I’ve been awarded entry to the Korean symphony orchestra international academy in 2021, chipping Camden festival academy in 2022, London musical theatre orchestra dev scheme in 2023 and most recently the Sinfonia Smith Square. These have all given me a strong boost and I hope to continue gently walking the path of a professional double bassist.

I wish God will keep leading my way and use my talent to serve the world and make it a better place.
