HMMM U ASK FOR A PROFESSIONAL BIO??

Hana Lin is an electronic music producer, performer, and someone who is slightly obsessed with sound. She is especially drawn to sounds that feel unfamiliar or hard to trace—anything strange, distorted, or “wrong” tends to catch her attention.

Before studying music, Lin was on a science track and attended the University of Edinburgh. That background still influences how she thinks about sound, especially when it comes to synthesis, signal flow, and experimentation. At the same time, her actual entry into music was much more instinctive than academic. She started out playing in bands with friends and doing vocals for a fairly intense punk project in high school. Around that period, she also became deeply interested in progressive rock, especially King Crimson—not just for the music itself, but for how the sounds were constructed. The question of “how does this even sound like that?” became something she kept coming back to.

After coming to Berklee College of Music, Lin started a Japanese rock-influenced band called Narcissus Syndrome and stayed active in the local scene for a while. But eventually, electronic music and synthesis pulled more of her focus. It felt like a more direct way to explore the kinds of sounds she had been interested in all along—more control, but also more chaos.

In 2024, she co-founded the electronic duo “Mewmewkaisen,” which leans into breakcore, electronic hardcore, chiptune, and internet-influenced aesthetics. The project sits somewhere between aggressive and playful, and that contrast tends to carry into her overall artistic identity as well. Within a year, they released two singles and started gaining some attention online.

Rather than aiming for clarity or perfection, Lin is more interested in texture, tension, and instability. Her process is driven by curiosity—pushing sounds until they almost fall apart, and following ideas that don’t immediately make sense but feel worth chasing anyway.
