I feel like I’m living my dream life my high school 9th grade self envisioned: doing my life’s work, meeting cool people along the way, and feeling more optimistic about the future than ever. Every day (more like most days haha), I wake up, ready to tackle the day ahead and move the needle closer to my dream life.

I’m the founder of Musinary, a word I created back in 10th grade: “music” + “visionary.” Though I knew I would one day do great things with this word, it wasn’t till recently did I have the clarity on where I wanted to take this. Now, with obsession consuming every fiber of my being, it’s time to share it with the world:

My life’s mission – the legacy I want to leave behind – is to bring creatives and founders in a musical, nature-like setting worldwide. Musinary will sit at the intersection of creativity, artistry, and business. Currently, there are three branches of Musinary: productions, media, and summits.

But how did I get to where I am today? I feel like my first 18 years of life has been set on a pre-laid path, and only this year am I beginning to wield greater freedom over everything I do. It all started when I began taking piano lessons at 5 y/o. I credit my love for piano and music to be the foundation of starting Musinary.

From the age of 10 up to my last year of high school, I was heavily involved in the world of classical piano, competing up to the international level. One of my fondest memories was playing Beethoven’s “Emperor” Piano Concerto No. 5 with the California Youth Symphony right before my high school graduation.

After high school, I found myself facing a fork in the road. I could theoretically continue pursuing the well-trodden path – the rat race of life – by checking the next set of boxes: getting good grades in college, landing internships, get my hands at a prestigious corporate job, and make a sweet load of money till 60.

However, my intuition told my otherwise, and I veered hard the other way, finding myself spending my entire 1st year of university spiraling down into rock bottom (aka a year-long existential crisis), as I began searching for my life’s work. It was SO f*cking tough, but that was exactly what I needed.

At that time, I had stumbled across this creative pursuit called music films. After a life-changing trip to Asia in the summer of 2023, I took the hours of footage I had, fused it with my original music compositions, and created two movies from it. These are my greatest masterpieces to date: “Rebirth“ and “Homecoming.”

As my 1st year of university ended and I headed into summer and my 2nd year, I dove deeper into various creative pursuits: started a podcast and landed dream guests, met cool people through online writing, ran my first marathon at Santa Rosa (PR 3:41:29!), and landed myself an apprenticeship with a top creator and PM.

While I was doing cool things, it felt very fragmented. But something clicked: everything I was doing is all for a singular mission: building the world of Musinary. After cold DM’ing my way into one of Andrew Yeung’s (the “Gatsby of Silicon Valley”) events in LA, I realized how much I wanted to bring people together.

So once again, here’s the mission of Musinary: to bring creatives and founders in a musical, nature-like setting worldwide. Be musinary, and I’ll talk soon. Peace o7.
