Embracing their range and agility, Cynthia learned the art of interpretation from Ella; from Joni, she learned that pop songs could be bittersweet, poetic, and emotionally complex. After graduating Princeton University with a degree in economics and attempting a nine-to-five career in the Washington DC software industry, Cynthia returned to the stage with a batch of original songs written on the acoustic guitar. Her unique blend of jazz and folk, as well as her heartfelt lyrics and personable stage presence, began to draw a very loyal fanbase. The warm reception of these songs, which included recognition from the Washingtonpost.com, led to the recording of her debut EP Blue and Borderlined with Grammy-nominated engineer Heidi Gerber. Since the album's release in January of 2005, Cynthia has become a regular on the regional touring circuit, performing at respected venues including DC's IOTA Club, Philly's World Cafe Live, New York's Rockwood Music Hall, and Chicago's Uncommon Ground. Cynthia has supported major acts including Vienna Teng and Emm Gryner, and has been featured on TV, radio, and at Toronto's NXNE Festival. The music video for her song "I'm Shy" was selected to premiere at the 2005 Asian American International Film Fest. Cynthia is currently recording a new album, this time experimenting with strings, horns, and self-production. Inspired by Ani DiFranco and other entrepreneurial artists, Cynthia plans to release her second EP Doppelganger independently in 2007.
