From Singapore to Boston : The journey of a talented woman and music producer

Tessa Ying is a 26 years old Singaporean Music Producer, Engineer and Pianist, she started her incredible musical journey at the age of 4 and she is now based in Boston, MA.

Tessa graduated from the best music schools in Singapore (Lasalle College of the Arts), England (London College of Music, Trinity College London) and USA (Berklee College of Music). She collaborated with many artists to create Film Scoring music, was the supervising work-study in the Writing & Technology Division of the Berklee College of Music, and she won the MP&E Creativity Award in Spring 2019 for her innovative, genre-fusion productions.

Things haven’t always come as easy as we think for Tessa. She had to face obstacles being a woman in this industry. « I definitely had some difficulties at first as a women producer and engineer. When people think of a producer or engineer, they think of an authoritative man. In this industry, women have to be the best in order to be looked upon as an equal. Sometimes job opportunities come by, but it turns out they have an ulterior motive. It’s the cold reality. However, because women artists/singers/composers are facing the same issues, they are seeking out women producers and engineers to work with. The industry is changing with the times and women are empowering each other. »
