He received his bachelor’s degree in Science from Zhejiang University in 2023 and will soon begin his Master’s studies in Screen Scoring at the University of Southern California.

Haoyu is passionate about blending Western classical music with modern production techniques to craft emotionally powerful soundscapes. A classically trained pianist and erhu performer since childhood, he has performed for many years in Chinese orchestras and has arranged and orchestrated numerous works for traditional ensembles. These experiences have given him a deep understanding of Chinese instrumental writing and orchestration.

Recently, he composed the original score for Still Tides, a short film exploring themes of youth and love. In addition to his creative projects, he continues to grow his career as a music educator, with over 5,000 hours of teaching experience in piano, erhu, and music theory.
