Let’s talk about my favorite musicians 🖤 and why I think relying on online music critics is one of the most unreliable things you can do. In this solo episode, it’s just me, my playlist, and some brutally honest thoughts. 🎶

Today I sat down with my friend Billy from Esoteric—many of you remember him from his OG influencer era, but now he’s living a whole new chapter as a young dad. 👶✨
We talked about Kanye (yes, kinda), fatherhood, and meditation.

🖤 In this solo episode, we’re going full Goth.
Ever since I was a kid, I knew I belonged in this world—not just because of my naturally jet-black hair, but because it’s dark, witchy, and endlessly fascinating. Let’s talk about it. 🦇

I've asked Yvonne to come have a chat with me, being Third Culture Kids ourselves, we have a lot of common grounds.
We talked about our take on racism, food cultures, and some other random stuff, hahaha.

 之前和朋友聊到这个话题的时候，我发现我真的不觉得金钱是邪恶的根源，我们来聊聊我为什么会这样想吧。

Just got one of the realest OGs I respect the most — Wes Chen — on this brand new episode of Sound Stories 🖤

We had the best time chopping it up about all things hip-hop, clout chasers, why he wants to have kids (?!), and more.

Go give it a listen & show some love! ✨

[Mandarin ep] This solo episode is about some mainstream behavior that I truly don't understand, like having a conversation in the cinema..Fucking WHY???

Let's talk about it.

If you're listening to this, just a heads up: the audio quality’s a bit rough—our mic had some sudden issues and we kept switching between languages. Sorry about that!

This episode took a while to put together because of the complex subtitles, but trust me—it’s worth the wait.

Back in April, I spent an afternoon at Zhongshan Park with Shixin Wenyue, also known as the Prince of Wangjiang. He was in Shanghai for his Grey Sun tour, which is already one of my top picks for Chinese Album of the Year.

We got into so many stories he's never shared before—from a hilariously failed pickup attempt in his youth to his current philosophy on how to approach people. He also opened up about what he calls his “young grandpa energy”—funny, honest, and full of heart.

Sometimes I feel like the "self-help" industry is just like any other, there to make money, but this is with a mask of helping you. Don't get me wrong, I do believe people who write these books stems from a very nice place, but not all self-help books are actually helpful.

Being in the creative industry, I want to recommend a few books that really helped me.

Let me know what you think.

You have no idea how much I love music, especially music from the 2000s. So let's see this list that Rolling Stone made, yes I know I'm late to the game, whatever!!

I only did from Number 30 to Number 1, I didn't want this episode to be soul-sucking long.

So what do you think about the list?
