About QJin
QJin (Qianqian Jin) is a visionary guzheng artist, electronic performer, DJ, and sonic storyteller reshaping how ancient instruments live in the modern world. Raised in Northwestern China and sharpened through the experimental music cultures of San Francisco, Tel Aviv, and Los Angeles, she creates a transcultural sound that blends folk resonance, electronic textures, hip-hop collaborations, and cinematic atmospheres.
Her live sets — whether on guzheng, behind the decks, or in hybrid performance — move fluidly between rhythmic intensity and meditative stillness, weaving improvisation, electronic grooves, and emotional sound design into immersive journeys. Her recordings have appeared in major franchises including Mortal Kombat 11, MK1, Fortnite’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Netflix’s Kung Fu Panda.
As an instrument innovator, she developed a custom MIDI-enabled guzheng controller, honored as a Top 10 finalist at the Guthman Instrument Competition. Her artistic philosophy centers on “withered tech”—technology that becomes more powerful as it grows raw, human, and vulnerable.
Today, QJin shares her craft through DJ sets, live performances, instrumental recordings, cross-genre collaborations, and immersive sound experiences. She invites audiences into a sonic universe where tradition and futurism coexist — intimate, bold, and unmistakably her own.
