I am a pianist, artistic researcher, educator, as well as curator and director of interdisciplinary works.

After graduating from the School of the Arts Singapore as the Valedictorian of Class of 2015, I got my Bachelor of Music and Master of Music in Piano Performance degrees at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, where I then worked as the Chief curator of the YST Creative Curation Team and Teaching Assistant in relation to areas of Singapore Studies and Artistic Research.

I am currently pursuing a PhD at the National University of Singapore History Department. My research interest lies in the intersections of cultural history, decolonialism, literature, and music, with a focus in Southeast Asia. Conference engagements include the “Performing by the Book? Artist-Researchers’ Negotiations Between Text and Context” colloquium at Orpheus Instituut (Ghent, Belgium), European Platform for Artistic Research in Music (Ljubljana, Slovenia), and International Symposium on Music and Interdisciplinary Studies at Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music (Bangkok, Thailand). I have published in the Orpheus Institute Series, in collaboration with Leuven University Press.

Active in interdisciplinary collaborations, themes of wonderment, intimacy, and nature are often explored in my work. I have been involved in the creative direction and curation of multiple projects, including Springing (2019) and Wanderer (2022) in collaboration with YST, and Eye-to-I: Self-guided audio tour (2021) with Esplanade—Theatres on the Bay, Singapore’s national performing arts centre. I made my directorial debut with the show Mare-Dness, as part of Esplanade’s Voices— A Festival of Song (2024).

As a pianist, I perform as a soloist — most recently in Piano Extravaganza 2024— and collaborate with various local ensembles such as The Opera People (TOP), The Philharmonic Orchestra (TPO) Wind Quintet, and the Orchestra of Music Makers (OMM).

As an advocate for greater diversity and inclusivity in the arts, I have served as a member of the Diversity, Inclusivity and Equality (DIGE) Working Group as part of Association Européenne des Conservatoires (AEC)—Empowering Artists as Makers in Society project from 2022–2025. Panel invitations on this matter include the 49th AEC Annual Congress and General Assembly: Imagining opportunities for establishing new traditions which embrace a more diverse world– Networking beyond Europe (2022), Association for Asia Pacific Performing Arts Centres (AAPPAC) Conference Future Forward: Notes for the Way Forward (2022), and International Symposium on Music and Interdisciplinary Studies at Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music (2024).
