Fay Kueen"Beijing-raised, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and composer Fay Kueen Wang has been through a lot in the past decade. An emerging new voice in the industry, the multi-faceted artist has been exposed to many different countries, cultures, and careers.

Before Sandy"Beijing-raised, Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and composer Fay Kueen Wang has been through a lot in the past decade. An emerging new voice in the industry, the multi-faceted artist has been exposed to many different countries, cultures, and careers. She’s encapsulated all of those experiences into her must-hear debut album, A Place Called Home is Not a Place." - Pop Culturalist A Place Called Home Is Not A Place observes human life from the out-of-body perspective of someone without a place, inspired by psychology, dream analysis, astrology, and surrealism. Placing her haunting, whispered vocals and smoky, jazzy keyboard playing in a dark, warm cave of warped synths and glitchy beats, these eight songs evoke an isolated and dreamlike inner world during a period of intense uncertainty and personal turmoil. The title track was written in 2013 while Fay was living in Boston - a mile from the site of the marathon bombing - and struggling with her immigration status. Other songs narrate a nightmare during an eclipse (Bunny Bastard), a romantic encounter in the middle of Hurricane Sandy (Before/After Sandy), and an escape from heartbreak by diving into the work of Salvador Dali (Atmospheric Zebra). Taken together, the record dreams of the dissolution of boundaries between beings, foreseeing all of us merging together and back into nature.Fay composed, arranged, performed, and produced all the songs on the album, working with Guangzhou-based producer Mark Lee to mix and master the album.Subjected to intense classical training from a young age in piano and composition, Fay developed into one of China’s leading voices in modern classical music. Her orchestra music has been played in venues such as Germany’s Berliner Philharmonie, New York’s Lincoln Center, and Beijing’s National Center for the Performing Arts. However, after coming to the US in 2008 to study composition at Yale, Fay increasingly found classical music to be emotionally limiting and culturally isolated. Having sung in rock and jazz bands in Beijing, she began writing rock-inflected music featuring herself as a vocalist, first working with legendary downtown NYC experimental music collective Bang on a Can and later forming her own ensemble, Invisible Anatomy, an experimental chamber pop group described as “otherworldly and uncanny” by The Village Voice. She also slowly accumulated an album of bonafide rock songs.
