We had the good fortune of connecting with Yi-Chen Chiang and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Yi-Chen, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I think any creative mind would agree that pursuing your art and your passion isn’t really a choice. I love writing music and I love films, so I almost feel obligated to pursue a career that indulges that passion. That said, I do believe there’s more at stake than simply what I enjoy. As a young woman and a Taiwanese immigrant, I think it’s really important that the entertainment industry pushes to include everyone’s perspective. Art will always be more inclusive, inspiring and meaningful if you can experience it not only as a means to express yourself, but also as a window into a creative mind who is completely different from you.
