Jyn-Ting Ying

BIO/DESCRIPTION

Jyn-Ting Ying 應琬霆 (They/Them) is a queer non-binary Asian-diasporic artist and musician based in Amiskwaciwâskahikan, or what is known as Edmonton, Alberta. Founder and organizer of the “Chinatown Live Music Series”, Jyn-Ting piloted a summer series of live music events that showcase local musicians and celebrate beloved locations in Edmonton’s North and South Chinatown districts. Their original music blends their classical and jazz training with their love of fantastical soundtracks and avant-garde electro-pop. Jyn-Ting’s debut album “Black Silk, Living Eyes” explores themes of fetishization and intergenerational trauma through Wendy Chen and Li Qingzhao’s poetry, reimagined into electro-acoustic soundscapes. Outside of their personal projects, Jyn-Ting provides musical support in the form of piano accompaniment to Sorry Not Sorry Improv, and commissioned compositions on interdisciplinary projects such as “Do You See What I See”.
