Each song is accompanied by an original story, inspired by the bedtime tales I grew up with, but now reimgianed as an adult. You can visit the full experience by visiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bedtimestoriesmp3.com\/\">www.bedtimestoriesmp3.com<\/a> !\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>What\u2019s your favourite track from it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This is a hard one because I don\u2019t think I have a favorite! I love each track for different reasons. \u201cmisirlou&#8221; is the &#8220;banger&#8221; of the EP, and it\u2019s always so fun to play it. I really love &#8220;1001&#8221; because it has such a unique sound, and I enjoyed writing and singing in Mandarin. &#8220;intuition&#8221; and &#8220;meant to be&#8221; were originally one track I made four years ago, but I reworked them this year for the EP, so they hold a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>You\u2019re a singer songwriter based in LA how did it all begin for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I was born and raised in Shanghai, and I first came to the U.S. by myself for high school. My family actually moved to LA when I started college, so now I consider this beautiful city home. When I first came here, I didn\u2019t think it was possible for me to pursue a music career\u2026 because this was before I really saw Asian faces in the industry here. But now, surrounded by so many talented and diverse friends, I feel inspired and encouraged to pursue this creative path.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>What did you listen to growing up?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">When I first started listening to music, it was a lot of \u201cRolling Stone\u2019s 100 Albums to Listen to Before You Die.\u201d That, and High School Musical soundtracks. (This movie changed my life because if I wasn\u2019t obsessed with HSM I don\u2019t think I would want to learn English, nor would I want to come to the U.S. for high school!) Some of my favorite musicians growing up include Michael Jackson, Coldplay, The Black Keys, Second-Handed Rose (\u4e8c\u624b\u73ab\u7470).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>This project explores childhood memories with adult experiences, you grew up in Shanghai &#8211; what\u2019s your favourite memory of living there?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I really miss roaming around the city at night with my friends. Shanghai is such a metropolitan city, but since I went to local, public boarding schools, I only really got to explore the city during the weekends. These city nights were magical.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>The EP is called Bedtime Stories what was your favourite bedtime story as a child?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I think it would probably be \u201cAlice in Wonderland.\u201d I just love a story with a crazy world creation!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>What are you listening to at the moment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Currently on repeat\u2026 Doechii, Saya Grey, _BY.ALEXANDER, 070 Shake<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>What are you looking forward to in 2025?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">My next project! And some shows coming up. The next project I&#8217;m working on is conceptually a continuation of \u201cbedtime stories mp3\u201d in many ways\u2014it will be about dreams.
