A genuine artist means to dedicate his or her whole life to art from their deep soul. An artist's life is a huge perfect work of art. If someday I lost everything in my world, inspiration and technique of music composition will remain rich in my mind. Genuinely innovative music composers mean to create their own style musical language and strive toward the conception of a new technique of music system; it is in the striving that one's pride and inspiration takes form. My focus as a composer includes incorporating the natural tones and expressive nuances of Eastern languages into and through Western contemporary classical music and instrumentation, ultimately globalizing civilizations through the universal language that is music.
