Chowon Park

Musician, Producer, Student, Writer/Editor

From a young age, I have been moving between countries because of my parents. As a Third Culture Kid (TCK), I have been embraced by different cultures and shaped as a person. I have a strength in my creative skills, and I have always wanted to share my work with others and discuss it. Outside of academics, I enjoy music because I find composing my own piece a way to express myself. I also enjoying writing, for the same reason.

I always loved sharing my ideas with everyone. Those ideas that inspire changes, encourage actions, and influence others. This is the reason why I wanted to host a TEDx event, where I can not just share my own thoughts, but also listen to other's perspective. Throughout my life, I always liked to try new things. First it started as learning new languages, because I thought that it would be great if I could communicate with the whole world, not just people around my community. I am a TCK, or Third-Culture Kid, so language learning made me adapt better when I moved to China when I was young. Music is also a great part of myself. From the start, I felt like I'm enjoying playing instruments and listening to them, but I noticed that music isn't just an entertainment; it's another way to communicate, to express myself. I began to learn about composing, so I can create my own pieces, not just listen or play other people's work.
