MUSICIAN AND COMPOSER
Why do you love to travel?
They say travel broadens the mind. There is so much to learn from visiting different cultures and traditions, not only musically but in every way. Through travel I’ve had the fortune to meet and interview Nelson Mandela, visit aboriginal Australians in their homelands, meet native Americans on a mountain near Sacramento and work with Brazilian children at a street shelter in Brazil. I have had so many wonderful memories and experiences through travelling that I have lost count of them all! Most of all, I have witnessed the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises.

The New Asian America
It wasn't always this way. We were not so often the headline. Our elders' safety was not a cause célèbre. We weren't even sure that we were a "we"-can so many people with so little in common say that? Still, there were a few shared things. Cooking ingredients, tropes we were sick of. And when the attacks first started in early 2020, we found we shared another: a terrible feeling of dread.
