ABOUT JETT KWONG:
Jett Kwong's signature and unusual combination of the Chinese guzheng, strong vocal melodies, strings, and electronic production has earned her praise across the world. Jett's 2020 EP, Future, deemed "a listener's paradise" by EarMilk, merges her cinematic soundscapes with alt-pop sensibility and introspective songwriting, largely inspired by her mixed heritage and questions around empowerment. Jett is currently based in Los Angeles and has music available on all streaming services.
"Jett Kwong explores the elusive, tender, and raw through powerful vocals, strings, and the mystical sound of the Chinese guzheng. Ethereal yet driving, she questions identity and belonging. Through her interpretation of both her family’s histories and the complexities of colonial history at large and her continuing dedication to inclusivity and diversity in the production of her music, "Jett Kwong is shifting the landscape." - Culture Collide
