Bio

Music is the language of my soul - its power to connect hearts transcends words. My greatest achievement to date is winning the World Master Open Music Competition Vocal (Gold Prize) & Youth Artists Training Program Vocal (Gold Prize), which is a recognition of my years of dedication. 

 

Highlights of my current career include performing at the Australia Institute of Music  in Sydney and collaborating with the orchestra on 'La Voce' at the Longy School of Music of Bard College in the United States. I am currently a graduate student, having studied under Jaewoo Kim, the resident principal tenor of the Sydney Opera House, and now under the renowned soprano Angela Gooch. Their professional guidance and trust in my vocal potential have brought about a profound transformation in me. 

 

Currently, I am preparing for a spring recital, featuring contemporary art songs and famous arias. I am committed to combining rigorous vocal technique with deeply integrated storytelling to create a more moving stage presence.

My Story

I have been learning music since childhood. From the moment I first heard a song, I was certain that I had a passion for music. Through my years of dedication, my works exhibit many distinctive features. Rather than merely singing the songs authentically, I am more committed to combining rigorous vocal techniques with deeply integrated storytelling. Because I firmly believe that the significance of music lies not only in the dissemination of emotions, but more importantly, in the inner stirring it brings. Therefore, every vocal choice I create or direct aims to enhance the authenticity of narration, dramatic effect, and auditory connection. This makes my practice a bridge between emotion, language, and audience experience, which holds profound significance for me. At the same time, I hope to inspire more people to fall in love with this art and spark more innovation.
