ProfileNew Age musical healer on revitalising Hong Kong people using her mix of music, spirituality, yoga and dance, and her family roots in the city
- Raised in Texas but with a father from Hong Kong, New Age musical artist Daphne Tse loves travelling and promoting wellness
- She is in Hong Kong this month, appearing at the Harmony in Motion: A New Year Wellness Workshop, where she hopes to energise burned out city residents
Daphne Tse grew up in Texas with dreams of becoming a pop star. One of six children, she loved playing the flute and singing in the school choir, and recalls the joy of watching Mary Poppins as a seven-year-old.
Music was her passion and Los Angeles, California, was the city to make her dreams come true.
“My father told me I couldn’t go to LA until my diploma was on his desk,” she says. Days after graduating from the University of Texas, Tse was bound for the City of Angels.
But Tse took a spiritual path. Driven by an insatiable curiosity for other cultures, she travels the world, guitar strapped to her back, sharing her healing yoga music that she combines with dance, chant and meditation.
This month Tse is in Hong Kong for “Harmony in Motion: A New Year Wellness Workshop” at Sun Yat Sen Park in Sai Ying Pun on February 17.
