A musician of mixed Amis and Sakilayan heritage, Suana holds a variety of identities such as producer, singer-songwriter, orchestra music director, stage director, and radio show host. He did not learn of his Indigenous identity until he returned to Eastern Taiwan with his mother in his youth. He received musical enlightenment in the church and began to learn piano, forging a deep bond with music. Since then, he has been walking the musical path. Learning ethnic language and tribal culture with his grandmother, mother, and godmother, he uses Amis language as the core of creation. He combines traditional melodies, western instrumental music, and various music styles to compose rhythms reflecting the contemporary Indigenous peoples and urban youth. He looks forward to seeing how his music collides with the souls of the listeners to create different life stories.
