Im an artist who has primarily trained in the Euro-American (US) modernist percussion culture. I also come from a traditional Chinese music background and grew up engaging with taoist ritualism participating in the Tai Hang Fire Dragon. Currently my work centers on ritualism and embodied performance —its intersectionality with space through the study of auto-cremative & self-abandonment practices. I am also researching and writing about cultural production under Lefebvrean (Henri Lefebvre) metaphilosophy, class intersectionality within the music academy and ritualism’s precorporation within capitalist frameworks through an autoethnographic perspective.

In recent years I have collaborated extensively with choreographer & dance theorist Fangfei Miao on inter-disciplinary projects with dance centering around identity, sound-art—self abandonment & ritualistic function. Our work has taken us on tours to Europe- Asia and the United States. My current circle of collaborations also centre around percussionist Steve Schick and Red Fish Blue Fish. Together we have undertaken tours in Madrid, Spain (Cuartel Del Condeduque) and an extensive partnership with the Monday Evening Concerts series (based in LA). In the past we have performed works by Xenakis at MICA Studios— the US premiere of Poetica (Chaya Czernowin) at Zipper Hall & commissions by Jaroslaw Kapuscinski & Young Doo Jung.

On the commercial end of the economic spectrum I have worked with C-pop artists like Keung To, Music Director Edward Chan & Percussionist Chau Chin Tung & Kian Hsu to bring both experimental culture & traditional Chinese drumming to the arena stage. This project culminated in 9 shows at the Asia World Arena titled LAVA in November 2025. I have also contributed my musicking to the 2023 Paris Olympics—working with Doug Perkins, Ibrahim Malouf & Xin Yi Chong under the Pulsations project. I can be heard on Michael Gordon’s Field of Vision(2025) which was taken on tour in 2024 as part of the Bang On a Can Longplay festival. Finally I have presented as a solo artist in the 2023 Percussive Arts Society International Convention— under their world music category .

As a musician I have worked professionally with ensembles like Ensemble Intercontemporain — Wynton Marsalis & the JLCO — San Diego New Music — Sandbox Percussion & Ensemble Red Fish Blue Fish.

In the prestige economy I have been recognized by the City of Ann Arbors Golden Paintbrush Awards, participated in the 2024 Tromp Concours, won the Eugene Bossart Prize/Michigan concerto competition, placed in the Black Swamp multi-percussion showcase & placed in the Chicago International Music Festival.

In the academic field I have taught for professors: Lei Liang (History of Chinese music), Breakbeat Lou Flores (Hip Hop culture), Kyle Adam Blair (Symphonic music) alongside courses in Music theory & pop culture.

Outside of cultural production I practice Judo and enjoy eating/drinking with my friends. ‍ ‍
