SAXOFSHAOLIN
FROM SCRIPTURES TO SOLOS
As seen on NBC News12 New York
ABOUT
saxofshaolin is the confluence between East and West. As a saxophonist, composer, and bandleader, he seeks to merge the musical lineages of his upbringing. He fuses American, South East Asian, and Afro-Caribbean music and creates music that sounds like a dance between the ancestors of the three traditions. This is not only an effort to experiment with music but also to find common ground between far-flung cultures. It's an approach that has developed, instinctually, from his experience as an immigrant and a Hakka Chinese, a nomad by blood. His music is simultaneously traditional and contemporary. Equally aggressive and tasteful. Always danceable and spiritual.
saxoshaolin is a 2024 Artist-in-Residence at the Museum of Chinese in America, and Google Next Gen Policy Leader.
