We recently connected with Yusi Liu and have shared our conversation below.
Yusi , so excited to have you with us today. So much we can chat about, but one of the questions we are most interested in is how you have managed to keep your creativity alive.
I keep my creativity alive by connecting with everything in the world—people, animals, nature, ideals, and human creations. I believe it’s important to live calmly and joyfully, as this mindset helps me create better music. By staying connected and embracing a peaceful lifestyle, I can channel these experiences into my compositions, making them more authentic and meaningful
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I am a media composer, specializing in creating music for films, animations, and video games. My work involves composing scores that enhance the storytelling and emotional impact of visual media. I studied film scoring at NYU, where I honed my skills in creating music that complements and elevates the on-screen narrative.
Currently, I am focused on serving the community by providing music for those in need. Whether it’s creating uplifting melodies for community projects or scoring music for local events, I find great joy in using my talent to contribute to the community. My goal is to create music that resonates with audiences, evokes emotion, and enhances the overall viewing experience.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Throughout my journey, I’ve found three qualities to be particularly impactful: consistency, self-belief, and positivity. Consistently showing up and putting in the effort, believing in yourself even when faced with challenges, and maintaining a positive outlook have been key to my progress and achievements.
I believe that everyone’s journey is unique, and it’s challenging to offer universal advice. However, if I were to share one thing, it would be to enjoy the process of becoming who you want to be. Embrace the ups and downs, learn from every experience, and find joy in the journey itself. This mindset can make the path to your goals more fulfilling and meaningful.
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
Collaboration is a driving force behind my desire to become a media composer. I find great beauty in the connections and relationships formed through working with others. Whether the experience is smooth sailing or presents challenges (yes, I’ve had some difficult working experiences), I value every moment spent collaborating. Each interaction offers a unique opportunity for growth, creativity, and the chance to create something truly special together.
