At that point, I think my options were pretty much like applying for a master's degree in singing in the US or come back to Hong Kong to work in this investment bank. And I chose the later because of my curiosity about how the financial markets work. And I guess there were also a lot of influences as I grew up in this financial hub.

I hear from my family discussing stocks in family gatherings and the financial news always talk about stocks on the TV. So I was curious about how all these things work. And I wanted to make money too, just to be realistic. I aspire to have a home with a grand piano where I can host concerts. So it seems like this is the path where I can achieve this dream.

And of course, even when I was working on the site, I continued to take singing lessons, I continued to perform in concerts, and I was pretty ambitious that I wanted to do both, having a great job while still doing things in music. So that's how I decided to come back to Hong Kong for the job.

Yeah, I think there were a series of events that built up to this transformation and big change in my career, and I wouldn't say there's one specific trigger. It's more like things just gradually build up until a point that I think everything works in my favor to switch out from finance into music.

Also, during my career in finance, there were times when I thought about maybe I should pursue a Master of Music, maybe I should just devote all my time in music, but then there were things that held me back. So it was like a struggle.

I remember even just a couple of years after graduation, I thought about joining an international singing competition, but I had a traumatic experience at that time that My vocal cord had a polyp and I couldn't sing. I couldn't even talk for an entire month. And I couldn't sing for an entire year. And I had to rest my voice to try different therapies and alternative medicine to recover my voice.

I couldn't even talk for an entire month. And I couldn't sing for an entire year. And I had to rest my voice to try different therapies and alternative medicine to recover my voice.

And the vocal cord is very fragile. Even after a year, when I started singing again, it's different from what I had from before. It takes time to build up the muscle again and also to fully recover from that. It actually took many years. So it held me back, but at the same time, because of this injury, I had an urge to compose. It was at that time that I started composing more.

Before that, I actually never had any formal training in composition, but I had good intuition to improvise and to write music. But at that time, I was seriously looking for opportunities to learn composing formally. And I signed up for this summer program in film scoring to learn from a Hollywood composer, Christopher Young, who scored Spider-Man and many other Hollywood movies.

It's a three-week program in Bulgaria. And I learned so much and I was so fulfilled during that time. I wrote pieces for orchestra. We recorded there. I found my real love, a real passion in music for composing. Ever since then, I came back to Hong Kong, of course, as a composer who is still very young and inexperienced.

It's hard to find opportunities, but I tried my best to write music for friends. And I started the Yale Alumni Chamber Music Society of Hong Kong. I wrote music for them for the inaugural concert, which was very well received. And because of that, I got an opportunity to write for the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra.
