About Me

for full bio, please visit my website at http://angelitali.com , thank you.
i'm very lucky, growing up in a cultural desert, Hong Kong, yet am able to be surrounded by great music influences since childhood, my parents, family, friends and musicians i met along all these years of my career. and most definitely, there'll be more to come, looking forward.
not much of a composer myself, but an interpreter, and improviser on a wider aspect. i find peace whenever i get to sing or just listen to good music. any music is that is heartfelt moves me. i always in search for new sounds and experiences.
