About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Create music and learn Chinese

ABOUT ME

I think the things that are most important to me all involve creativity and self expression. I am a musician, so that is the medium with which I express myself. Even though I play music, I find that I can enjoy all forms of art equally and find them all beautiful in different ways....Painting, literature, film, etc. I also find a lot of beauty in nature and the world that surrounds us. As long as I have enough time to keep writing music and keep learning I will be happy.

I lived in Tainan for a year but now live in Hualian, a beautiful city on the east coast of Taiwan.

I also really enjoy photography a lot. You can check out some of my pictures from Taiwan here:

如果你不會講英文的話沒關係, 我也會講中文.

PHILOSOPHY

Always try to be a compassionate individual

Always keep an open mind
