About Me
Hi ! I am Shangyi, currently studying Music Technology with a concentration in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. I have had previous game audio internships at Lilith Games and Tencent, with responsibilities including designing and implementing in-battle SFX, 3D environmental sounds, and voice-lines.​
​
My music training started from classical piano at the age of 7, and I enjoyed how music could be a mesmerizing world filled with creativity. I went to a lot of piano performance competitions during my teenage years and won third prize in the Steinway Piano Competition in the junior group, South China region in 2015 and honorable mention in the Chopin International Piano Competition in Hartford 2019.
​
I later started doing more compositional work for games and has fallen for game audio ever since. I want to continue use my previous knowledge in music and technology to story narrations in games, films and documentaries.​
