About Ellen Tsai
Ellen Tsai is a composer and musician whose work blends classical traditions with imaginative storytelling. Growing up on classical music from the radio station and the local library, plus piano and string bass training, her mind always had some decent music playing by itself.
Years after completing a Minor in Music at California State University, Long Beach, she inadvertently turned to composing as a creative outlet, which has since evolved into a vital part of her being. Ellen’s compositions carry a classical bent yet infused with modern lyricism and intense harmonies that resemble cinematic music. She is affiliated with ASCAP and enjoys collaborating with musicians worldwide to bring her compositions to life.

From Music to Motion
With a love for crafting, Ellen began designing felt dolls and miniature instruments in 2019. Several years later, curiosity got the better of her as she went on to experimenting with stop-motion animation synced to her own music. The process opened a new creative path, allowing miniature worlds, original compositions, and storytelling to come together frame by frame.
