WEI, Dai

Dai Wei (b. 1989) is originally from China. Her musical journey navigates in the spaces between East and West, classical and pop, electronic and acoustic, innovation and tradition. Her music often challenges the practice of labeling and delves into the untold narratives of social issues and obscured historical events from various communities, creating works with contemporary resonance and reflecting an introspection on how these multidimensional conflicts and tensions can create and inhabit worlds of their own. Being an experimental vocalist, she performs in the manner of Khoomei throat singing in her compositions, filtered through different experiences and backgrounds as a calling that transcends genres, races, and labels.
