Belle Chen
London-based Belle Chen is a pianist and composer whose unique approach in blurring the lines between classical and electronic music has been recognised by industry heavyweights. Described as an artist that is “original and provocative… feels like the sense of discovery” (Brian Eno), Chen is currently performing music from her latest album ‘Ravel In The Forest’ (#7 UK Specialist Classical chart, #15 ARIA Classical chart); an evocative celebration of the forests’ colourful ecosystems and the humankind’s distinctive capacity to imagine.
Receiving a standing ovation at her EFG London Jazz Festival debut in 2024, Belle is praised as an artist that is ‘Original and provocative… feels like the sense of discovery’ (Brian Eno). The Australian Music Prize-nominated artist’s latest album charted at #7 on UK Official Chart (Specialist Classical) and #15 on Australia’s ARIA Chart (Classical).
In her live shows, Belle takes a quirky, yet tender approach to musical storytelling. With the unmistakable influences of Maurice Ravel, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Joe Hisaishi’s melodic sweetness shining through, Belle blends sonic synth explorations, classical virtuosity, and free flowing improvisations that feel equally at home on jazz or experimental stages.
