She originally majored in social studies at the City University of Hong Kong. It was only in her last year of college, during her exchange study at the University of Strathclyde, that she discovered her love for music.
“I didn’t know that I wanted to pursue music back then,” the 27-year-old artist said. “At that time, I was like, ‘This is something I really want to pursue.’” XTIE has earned support from various platforms namely BBC Radio Scotland, RTHK, Commercial Radio Hong Kong, SCMP Young Post, LOCK Magazine UK, The Noise Gate UK, Music Crowns, and HONK Magazine.XTIE notes, however, that music has been a part of her childhood despite only discovering the urge to pursue it in her 20s. She originally started playing the piano at 12, saying, “I didn’t fall in love with piano but I started to play around the keys and learned how to do ‘pop’ piano.
“We do a lot of community projects and elderly projects, and we use art to bring people together,” she added.The inspiration behind her newest release “Spaceship,” XTIE shares, is rooted in her experience of never fitting in with any circles as a young girl. “This song is dedicated to people who are left out, meaning even if we are left out, we can build our own spaceship and do our little experiment and we can skyrocket it,” she said.
