Hi everyone, I’m Ray Chen. I’m an international concert violinist who has the spent most of my life touring in venues around the world. You may have come across some of my content on YouTube, from performances in concert halls, to playing for horses, to collabs with artists like Sting and TwoSet.

If you’re a musician or ever played/practiced an instrument, you’ll know that there’s no better feeling in the world than getting to sing or play your heart out and share that moment with others. However, the preparation and practice that’s required to get there is tough and often lonely. Even if your goal is to be able to play just one song for your friends at the beach, most people will give up before they’re able to get there. How do you motivate yourself to persevere?

For the past 18 months, I’ve been working on a platform called Tonic that makes practice fun and inspires people to share their artistry through live and social practice rooms. It’s helped many people from beginners to those who hadn’t touched an instrument in over 10 years, come back and relive the joy of music.

If you’d like to give it a go, check it out here.

From practicing, to performance, to life on tour, AMA!
