“a tense and bespoke mixture of swampy electronics, strings, and vocals that flash with a bold volcanic brilliance” – THE FADER

FOONYAP is a classically-trained violinist showcasing a sound that swings between fragility and explosive dynamism. Drawing comparisons to Björk and Tanya Tagaq, her work navigates her sheltered Chinese-Catholic heritage and the intense music training of her childhood. She marries brittle traditional melodies with classical deconstructionism and a minimalist electronic aesthetic.

FOONYAP's current projects explore the history of Calgary's Chinatown and its role in the cultural ecosystem.
