My musical journey began with Cantonese Opera (Yuequ), and since moving to Italy in 2010, I have been deeply involved in jazz. I graduated with full marks from Siena Jazz University, where I focused on integrating Yuequ elements into jazz—a reflection of my passion for honoring my cultural heritage while embracing experimentation and innovation. I have a strong background in composing music across genres—pop, jazz, ethnic, and synth—with a particular focus on creating culturally rich soundscapes. My debut album "Third Culture Kid" is a multicultural jazz-pop project featuring original songs in English, Italian, and Cantonese. My second album "Heidi Sings Italian Dialects" was a tribute to Italian folk songs, reimagined through a contemporary jazz lens. My current project, "Yut," further explores the fusion of East and West, blending Chinese and Italian melodies with jazz improvisation. In 2023, I ventured into film scoring with "A Road to a Village," which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. Despite being new to film scoring and Nepali music, I successfully merged ethnic and contemporary elements to create a soundtrack that supported the storytelling and visuals, as well as resonated with both the Nepali and international audiences. As I continue to grow as a film composer, I am eager to collaborate with filmmakers seeking a distinct, culturally infused musical voice. My goal is to bring a fresh perspective to film scores, creating soundscapes that transcend cultural boundaries, enrich the narrative journey, and serve the directors' artistic visions.…My musical journey began with Cantonese Opera (Yuequ), and since moving to Italy in 2010, I have been deeply involved in jazz.
