Jett Kwong combines the Chinese guzheng with vocal melodies sung in English, Cantonese, and French. Strings and electronic production transports the listener into dreamy soundscapes deemed a "balm to the spirit" (NPR). A poetic melding of languages and cultures largely inspired by her mixed heritage is bolstered by orchestral arrangements and an alt-pop sensibility.

About
Join us on September 14th for an unforgettable evening with Jett Kwong. Jett’s unique fusion of the Chinese guzheng, ethereal vocal melodies, lush strings, and cutting-edge electronic production has been described as "a balm to the spirit" by NPR. Her music, deeply influenced by her mixed heritage—half Cantonese and half a blend of English, Irish, Welsh, Norwegian, and Swiss German—invites listeners into a world of dreamy soundscapes and introspective beauty. Jett’s work is a profound exploration of identity, heritage, and the human experience, making her performance a must-see event.
