Takkin

"TAKKIN [tok-kin] 德堅 dé jiān - “firm virtue”

The NYC-based singer and songwriter (born Tobias Wong) creates cinematic soundscapes with haunting vocals grounded in pulsating, electronic beats. His musical genesis began in the pews of international churches, where American folk music, English hymns, and Mandarin ballads collide. Growing up in Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, South Korea, Michigan, and now Astoria, Queens, Takkin wrestles with the feelings of loneliness in liminal space and finding home.
