"The songs find their origins in hip-hop, but this is no surprise. It is actually comforting that an artist of this generation has instilled his poetry with universal vision; a vision that permeates the state of art, music, race and the world to life them up and bring them to an attention that is broad, and not simply for a select few."

Multi-instrumentalist and composer Dana Leong fuses hip-hop, jazz and electronics to create a signature hybrid sound. Artfully commanding cello, trombone and laptop, the Asian-American artist of Chinese and Japanese descent is breaking down artistic and cultural boundaries, collaborating, inventing, recording, touring and garnering critical acclaim along the way
Dana’s 4-piece ensemble, The Dana Leong Band (cello/ trombone, laptop, keyboard, drumkit and rapper/ poet), is a sonic and visual representation of his cutting edge, melting-pot artistic vision. From slow, lyrical and symphonic tunes to high-energy hip-hop tunes, this electro-acoustic all-star foursome is quickly sweeping the world off its feet. The band’s recent sold out Asian tour as part of The Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad (sponsored by Jazz at Lincoln Center and the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs) is a testament to his virtuosic live performances and his mission to blur the lines between art and commercialism.
