Nini Music is a Taiwanese instrumentalist, songwriter, singer, musician, and producer best known for her unique mix of Traditional Asian Folk Music with modern metal, rock, and EDM. [1]
Nini Music rose to prominence in the Asian folk metal scene with the release of her first solo folk metal EP, LEGENDS, in 2022. On this self-funded and self-produced album each song tells a story of a different Asian Folk Legend or Taoist God (such as: Guan Yu, Wukong, Mazu). The first single off of the album Longma charted on world music charts in Europe and Asia. The success of her song Longma was instrumental in turning Nini Music into a household name in the Asian folk metal genre.

In-between touring Nini spent roughly two years busking, playing shows, and performing in Corporate and Religious (Taoist Temple) settings. During this time she began to modernizing her playing style and music taste. [3]
