Meet:Leni Thio!

 Introduce yourself to our readers and tell us a bit about your musical journey: I’m a composer (21st century composer), after finished my studies at Royal Holloway, University of London in Music and Management Studies. I pursued my studies at California State University, Los Angeles in Commercial Music. My classical music influences are Debussy and Ravel, and my pop music influences are James Brown, The Beatles, the Beach Boys, and many more American songwriters. My style is very simple, incorporating elements of world music and classical music which sounds modern and contemporary. My passion is in movie and music.

Some of my earlier compositions were unpublished and purely instrumental, influenced by 20th century music that sound dissonant. My main instrument is piano, occasionally performs at music recitals and sings in the church choir. My other interest is in languages but I found that music is the simplest language - Music is universal language. 

How do you describe your sound and what can people expect from your latest project "33”? Working on the idea that music is a universal language, My aim is to create music that can be understood by everyone, and takes my influence from such diverse musicians as classical artists Deubssy and Ravel, and more contemporary, pop artists, such as James Brown, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys. The fusion of genres is all part of my individual style. The concept of my album 33 is love, peace, health, and politic. I have been promoting that to wider audiences. it is about different topics that happen around different facets of life. All of the music in this album are tied around a consistent sound and sweet rhythm. It includes fun songs to songs about good old days, dream worlds and holiday. It also consists of some more serious topics about racism and the conflict in Syria.

What advice do you have for readers who are interested in pursuing music as well? Listen to music that you like, participate at music events, and further your studies in music. Don’t be lazy to practice your instruments.

​What is next for you in 2018? I will still be promoting my music album 33 in 2018.
