He has appeared as a soloist with the Virtuosi Bruneses Orchestra (Perugia, Italy), Cascade Symphony Orchestra, Bellevue Symphony, and Tacoma Music Collaborative. He has multiple recordings on NPR Music's Live Sessions.
A self-taught composer up until the 2022 and 2023 Seattle Symphony Merriman-Ross Family Young Composers Workshop, his symphonic work, Chuseok Overture (2023) was part of the Seattle Symphony's 2023-2024 Season for their Celebrate Asia concert. His latest piece, d-이-alogue was a commissioned work for Seattle Symphony’s Violist, Mara Gearman, Flutist, Jefferey Barker and Double Bassist, Will Langlie-Miletich, which premiered in April 2025 at the Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall at Benaroya Hall.
