Xiaoqiao is a Chinese-born, London-based harpist and singer-songwriter who weaves her voice and harp into ephemeral, transcendent dreams. Through a blend of electronic effects, employing new textures of the harp’s mystic nature, she explores lucid dreams, vulnerability and oblivion states, crafting a celestial, hypnotic, ever-flowing ritual into the under river. Xiaoqiao’s previous collaboration work has already garnered attention, being featured on BBC Radio 6 and BBC Radio 4. She has been interviewed and featured by i-D as an "emerging artist" and showcased her musical talents in collaboration campaigns for Vivienne Westwood and Emporio Armani. Xiaoqiao has gained notice in London’s art scene, being commissioned for live performances at many of the capital’s most renowned galleries, including a performance for Anish Kapoor at Lisson Gallery, as well as at Zaha Hadid Gallery, the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and Camden Art Center, cementing her place across both the music and art worlds.
