About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Pianist with a big dream.

ABOUT ME

My name is Yikkiu and I know it's not the easiest name to pronounce. The name is difficult but the person is definitely not. ;)

Born in Hong Kong; raised in Vancouver; and now back in Hong Kong for work. I am a happy musician who is able to do what I love in life. I am currently the music director and conductor of a 40-show broadway musical that will be aired in Hong Kong in 2017. I am mostly on the piano performing classical music in recital halls and pop music in malls, restaurants, bars, hotels and road shows. When I get inspired, I compose music as I believe music heals the soul. On the side, I also teach and share the love of music with others.

Although music plays a huge part in my life, I am also very open to trying out many things. Thus, I love to travel and experience different cultures and of course the food HAHA. Travelling has made me realize many things and often is a great inspiration for writing songs as well. The multi-cultural Canadian background has a strong influence on me and made me very flexible and accepting with everyone around me. I am also very optimistic, talkative, friendly and social, with an unique sense of humour you won't want to miss. Never a dull moment.

Oh... and about my name?
Don't worry, if we meet in person I will teach you how to say it. ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Why be normal when you can be fabulous. Be yourself, because everyone else is taken. Define your own happiness and live an authentic life with kindness and poise. Don't forget to put a smile on, stay positive and share your love with others.
