The Story So Far
Hepupiano’s musical journey is one of passion, perseverance, and rediscovery. She began playing the piano at age 5 but quit at 10 due to a difficult school experience with bullying. During her time away from school, she found solace in the online world, which inspired her to pursue a degree in engineering, driven by a sense of gratitude for technology.
However, near the end of her master’s study in engineering, she realized her lingering desire for music had never faded. After over a decade away from the piano, she resumed lessons and rekindled her passion. Following the graduation, she made a bold decision to fly to Europe, where she miraculously passed the entrance exam for a prestigious music university. Now, she continues to pursue her dream of mastering the piano while sharing her lyrical, heartfelt music with a global audience on Twitch.
