Twelve-year-old Kingsley Chen was born in Hong Kong and began piano studies at the age of three. From the age of five, Kingsley started winning local, regional, and international competitions, including Hong Kong Asia Music Competition, Chopin Memorial Prize of the Hong Kong International Piano Competition, and Singapore Zhongshan International Music Competition, among many others. When the family emigrated to the U.S. and settled in Las Vegas, Kingsley was instructed by famed Ukrainian virtuoso Mykola Suk, faculty at University of Nevada. The family then moved to the east coast and since 2020 Kingsley has been studying with Prof. Victor Rosenbaum and, most recently, with Victor Cayres at the New England Conservatory Preparatory School.

Recent performances include recitals at NEC Jordan Hall along with college students of the conservatory, a feature in a video recital for the “Young Virtuoso Series” of the World Piano Teachers Association, a recital at the 13th SONORO PIANOFEST at Miami Dade College and a recital at Steinway & Sons in Miami, as well as a  concerto performance with a chamber orchestra conducted by Mr. Rosenbaum in a benefit Concert for Ukraine and Yemen. Kingsley’s dream is to bring beautiful music to the world, and he believes that music is a dialogue of the soul.
