About

A voice for the moody in‑between.

I write the songs you hear at 1am when you're not over it yet.

I'm Yiqian "Jen" Zou — a senior at NYU studying Music Theory & Composition, with a minor in the Business of Entertainment, Media & Tech.

I write, arrange, produce, sing, and play piano and guitar on every release. 100K+ first-week streams on two singles. Top 30 on NetEase Cloud's Soaring Chart. Sold-out solo showcase in Yantai.

Quiet on first impression — opinionated once you don't.

Beyond the mic.

A working understanding of the industry I'm writing for — sync, A&R, catalog, content, and the unglamorous spreadsheet behind every placement.
