XTN (Ex-Tee-En) believes music has indefinitely shaped her life from the moment her fingers touched the keys at the age of six. XTN’s journey into music had its calling to take flight and be truly multifaceted. Classically trained in piano and having studied music theory, composition and history, she expanded her musical repertoire and knowledge to involve jazz and modern pop, developing a versatile, improvisational and expressive style that continues to evolve.
Throughout her formative years, XTN immersed herself in collaborative music-making—performing in bands as a Trumpet and French horn player and serving as a dedicated piano accompanist while composing vocal scores for multiple choirs. Her deepening passion for the craft led her to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Piano Performance, solidifying her technical foundation and creative voice.
While music lives in raw acoustics and the energy of live performance, XTN felt called to uncover the technical layers beneath the surface. XTN dove into recording, composition and sound design, becoming fascinated with the inner workings of music production. This curiosity led her to discover and fall deeply in love with electronic music. For her, it's not about sticking to one genre—it’s about emotion, energy, and resonance. She asks not what music is, but how it makes us feel.
Driven by a love for storytelling and the profound connection between joy and our sensory experiences, XTN creates across multiple mediums. Whether through song: melody, rhythm, or visual expression, she seeks to evoke feeling, connection, and beauty in every piece she brings to life.
Today, XTN shares the gift of music as both a music creator, performer and educator, inspiring others through her teaching and through ongoing artistic work. She also extends her passion through the Wave Stage as the label head and co-founder of Odyssey Music Festival 20XX.
With utmost trust in the life-changing impacts of music, she sees music as a bridge between emotion, memory, and sensory experience. Her creations are guided by the belief that joy, beauty, and connection are woven through every note and brushstroke. Whether composing, playing, or exploring other art forms, XTN continues to craft experiences that resonate with the soul.
