Tianyu Zhou is a Chinese-Canadian artist known for her accomplishments as a concert pianist, singer-songwriter, music producer, DJ, and actor.

A prodigious classical pianist, Tianyu has performed internationally across Europe, North America, Asia, and the Middle East — performing solo at major venues such as Carnegie Hall NYC, Jerusalem Music Centre, Beijing Forbidden City Concert Hall, Shanghai Oriental Arts Centre, Barcelona Arts Centre, Wiener Saal Salzburg, and CBC Glenn Gould Studio, among others.

She has given solo recitals in over 30 cities across China under Poly Theatre Management, establishing herself as one of the leading pianists of her generation. Tianyu was invited to the Aspen Music Festival as a Polonsky Foundation Fellow, mentored by Veda Kaplinsky (The Juilliard School). She also attended the Lucerne Piano Festival Masterclass, performing Bach’s Goldberg Variations publicly at 18 and presenting them internationally. At age 11, she was named a “Wonder Kid” by Toronto City TV in a nationwide feature.

She is the Grand Prix winner of the 29th Scholarship Pianists’ Tournament in Poland, where she also received the Special Prize for Best Interpretation of Chopin, and performed for the Presidents and First Ladies of Poland and China at the Royal Castle in Warsaw.

Her performances and artistic achievements have been featured by China Daily News, Music Weekly, Piano Artistry Magazine, and RTHK Hong Kong, among others. Tianyu earned her Master’s degree with highest distinction from the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Poland, studying under Wojciech Świtała, following earlier studies at the Buchmann-Mehta School of Music in Tel Aviv with Arie Vardi. Her artistic development was further shaped by mentorship with Christoph Eschenbach, Murray Perahia, Dmitri Bashkirov, and Andrzej Jasinski.

Since the pandemic, Tianyu has expanded her artistry beyond classical piano into songwriting and music production, eventually finding her voice in Electronic Music.
