My musical influences come from both the classical tradition and contemporary crossover artists who emphasize emotional expression and connection with audiences.
As a violinist, I am deeply inspired by artists such as Itzhak Perlman and YunChen Lim, whose performances demonstrate not only technical excellence but also profound musical storytelling. Their ability to communicate emotion through tone and phrasing has strongly shaped my own approach to performance.
I am also influenced by crossover artists like Lindsey Stirling and David Garrett, who bring creativity and accessibility to classical music, blending genres and reaching wider audiences.
As a pianist, I admire the expressive depth and lyricism of The Beatles and Ludovico Einaudi, whose styles highlight the emotional and atmospheric possibilities of piano performance.
In addition, my studies in music therapy have influenced me to view music not only as an art form, but also as a powerful tool for emotional connection and healing. This perspective shapes how I perform—focusing not just on precision, but on creating meaningful and memorable experiences for each audience.
