San Francisco, CA<\/p>\n

I hope the future of Taiwanese America will continue to embrace their heritage and roots. Learn about your family. Never forget where you came from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"tung.jack2\"<\/strong>Who are you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I am Jack Tung. Before migrating to Taiwan & ultimately spending most of their teenage lives and early adulthood there, my father had roots in Jilin Province and my mother had roots in Fujian Province. I was born in Taiwan and moved to the US at age 5. I grew up in NY. I currently live in San Francisco, CA.<\/p>\n

What do you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I create and perform instrumental music with a guitar, a drum machine, some pedal effects, and a synthesizer. I try my best to create music that’s a combination of everything that I enjoy listening to. I’ve had opportunities to compose scores for short films.<\/p>\n

Why are you proud to be of Taiwanese heritage?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I’m proud for many reasons. Primarily, I’m proud to be of Taiwanese heritage because I love my family. They inspire me, give me purpose, and help me understand myself more and more with age. I would not be who I am or have the confidence to at least try to do what I do, without them. They have my heart. I am 1st generation.<\/p>\n

What does the future of Taiwanese America look like to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>I hope the future of Taiwanese America will continue to embrace their heritage and roots. Learn about your family. Never forget where you came from.<\/p>\n

Any additional information you would like to share?<\/strong><\/p>\n
