My Story

I was invited to join the harmonica club during high school and started my wandering harmonica journey. I didn’t think that I would be the only one among the group who still plays harmonica. During my time at National Taipei University of Education and National Cheng Kung University, we took part in harmonica activities and competitions. In 2008, I became part of Sirius and started travelling back and forth between Taipei and Tainan every week for rehearsals. After moving back to my hometown, Hsinchu in 2014, my busy schedule as a harmonica teaching life kicked in. From primary schools to adult classes, hoping to promote harmonica music through education, including my alma mater, National Hsinchu Senior High School.

Apart from pursuing a life of harmonica performances and teaching, I am also a professional photographer in the arts, culture, humanities and weddings. During my time at graduate school in Tainan, different things inspired me with different perspectives that are reflected in my photography and music. My visual and audio work complement each other.
