Owens Huang began his musical journey during the COVID-19 shutdown in 2020. In his youth, adventurous backpacking trips through countries such as India and Tibet profoundly shaped his musical expression and life philosophy. These explorations infused his compositions with introspective themes and a distinctive blend of Eastern artistic elements, seamlessly interwoven with classical, jazz, and metal influences.
Drawing inspiration from his role as a hedge fund manager, Huang engages with the dynamic realms of finance and global events, transforming them into creative works that weave together themes of Asian history, culture, philosophy, geopolitics, and market dynamics. In 2023, he premiered his first sonata, Place of Origins, at Taiwan’s National Recital Hall. In 2024, he debuted The Silicon Island in Taiwan, followed by Universal Connection in Mountain View, California. In 2025, he spoke at the CLSA Japan Forum and hosted his first concert in Tokyo. To date, Huang has published 18 works on major music streaming platforms.
Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, he is actively involved in the artistic, technology, and financial communities and serves on the board of the American Composers Forum. Guided by a vision of connection, Huang seeks to build collaborations across science, technology, and global finance, using music as a catalyst for dialogue and unity.
