Hi, my name is Christian Li and I am a senior at Paul D. Schreiber High School in Port Washington, New York. For as long as I can remember, my heart has resonated with a lifelong dream to be a musician. 

My musical journey started at three when I took my first piano lesson. Since then, I’ve been privileged to perform at school talent shows, as an accompanist to my HS choir & orchestra, and multiple times as a soloist at Carnegie Hall. In addition, I am an 11x Grand Prix Winner for the Concert Festival International Music Competition and one out of 11 NYSSMA All-State piano winners.

My passion for music production and technology started when I was in the 7th grade. I joined the newly formed music production club at school, not expecting much, but as I started learning to make hip-hop instrumentals via GarageBand and recording vocals in my closet with BandLab, I fell in love with making music. Since then, I’ve upgraded my equipment and expanded my producing abilities to a series of genres, including Pop, Rap, R&B, House, and Classical composition. Joining that club has not only inspired a passion in me for creatively producing music but also for using my craft to make a positive impact in the community. In September of 2024, I was one out of 10 NYSSMA All-State Electronic Music Showcase Winners.

In 2022, I founded a non-profit titled Harmony2Hope, aiming to raise money for underprivileged children via musical talent. I used music technology skills to produce a virtual charity concert which helped raise donations and awareness for children lacking music education. In the same year, I started pursuing social media content creation to promote the music I was distributing on streaming platforms. Through hundreds of videos, I’ve amassed over 150k followers and 40 million views on social media, in addition to over 200k streams on Spotify. Through these efforts, I’ve raised over $5,000 for global charities such as “Save the Children” and “Save the Music Foundation”.
