Hello, and welcome to today's episode! I will be interviewing Ü during her visit back home to see her family and give some lectures. In this episode, we will discuss her origins in music, the importance of music in her life, and her unique connection between music and big data. We will also explore opera and score reading, including singing in different languages. Tune in for the first part of this two-episode series with Ü and learn more about the fascinating world of opera!
Ü is a big data interpreter specialized in music and languages. She started as a pianist, cellist, alto saxophonist, organist, accordionist, conductor, composer, producer, interpreter, and diction coach. Becoming a self-taught coder and big data interpreter (projector), Ü has helped several countries establish or modify policies and protocols. Her data projects began in public health and expanded into behavioral science.
Now, she focuses on what she finds interesting or important. Since 2014, she has assisted children's homes and non-profit organizations in setting up fundraising strategies, reaching various benchmarks—such as raising $1,000,000 USD in half a year in Taiwan and organizing a concert for Ukraine in a rural area with a 19% poverty rate, with no funding and only volunteers.
Currently, she holds two opera conducting contracts, is working on finishing a children's book with a NYS SCR grant, and manages several non-profit projects including Armenian, Ukrainian, Bengali, and Taiwanese music to help preserve cultural heritage and free coding classes in the local library.
