Chantel Chan is a classically trained pianist and emerging music artist whose work bridges classical performance with digital production and cross-disciplinary projects. She began studying piano at the age of five and is graduating from LASALLE College of the Arts with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Classical Music Performance. During her degree, she explored digital music production, improvisation, and collaborative projects, inspiring her to create original compositions alongside her continued study of classical repertoire.
Her music is mostly inspired by Beethoven’s structural clarity, Debussy’s harmonic colour, Joe Hisaishi’s melodic storytelling, and Hans Zimmer’s cinematic soundscapes. Through her works, she explores artistic freedom, emotional growth, and self-expression, crafting musical worlds that connect sound with animation and narrative.
Chantel has performed in Piano Voyage XI: Game Night (2025), collaborating with JDN Party Quest as a pianist for Genshin Impact, a percussionist for Octopath Traveller, and a vocalist for Final Fantasy XIII: Serah’s Theme. Her mini-album, The Cosmos Within You (2025, as Music4lifebycc), comprises three original works marking her first steps in developing a distinctive musical identity. In 2024, she collaborated with a Japanese exchange student on the short animated film Free, exploring storytelling through music and animation.
She aspires to continue creating immersive musical experiences while teaching piano after graduation and developing original projects that combine music, animation and narrative storytelling.
