Enoch Chen
Singer-songwriter. Violinist. Composer. Engineer.
Some artists write in one language. Enoch writes in many — Mandarin, English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Italian and more — because the song finds its own language before he does. From Taipei to New York, from concert halls to recording studios, the thread running through all of it is the same: music made with full intention.
ABOUT
Enoch Chen was born in Taipei in 2002 into a musical household — his parents were musicians, and the instruments arrived before he had words for them. Piano at three, violin at four, both through years of formal classical training. By twelve he had found the guitar on his own. Along the way, double bass and percussion joined the room too — not to perform, but because understanding how rhythm and low-end shape everything above them made him a better listener, and a better writer.
Pop music arrived at twelve. Songwriting at fourteen. By eighteen he was producing his own records — writing them across multiple languages, because some feelings belong to a particular tongue and simply won't survive the crossing into another. Language, for Enoch, is the most intimate instrument he plays.
His violin career took him from stages in Taipei to the Vienna Musikverein — where he served as concertmaster of the DePauw University Orchestra on tour through Austria and Germany — and then to New York, where he performed in 44 Lights (Off-Off-Broadway, 2025) and Into the Woods (NYU Broadway, 2024), and continues to play live across the city.
His engineering path grew from the same ear. He holds a Master's in Music Technology from NYU and his thesis explored immersive mixing and spatial approach in film scoring using Dolby Atmos — a space where music and cinema converge in ways that are still being discovered. He has engineered at BlueFrog Recording Studio in New York, NYU Dolan Studio, and Gramola Records in Vienna.
He is Creative and Music Director of IAEEA, the International Arts Exchange Education Association, and teaches violin privately in New York City — because he remembers exactly what it felt like to be at the beginning.
