Linxuan “ Paris” Wu is a flutist, multi-instrumentalist, music therapist, theatrical worker, singer, and songwriter. Born and raised in Shenzhen, China, Paris moved to Concord, NC for high school when she was 16. After high school, she spent a year at Boston University to study psychology before transferring to Berklee College of Music. She earned a Bachelor Degree of Music in Music Therapy and Songwriting with honor in 2019.
​
Paris joined her elementary school choir at the age of 8 and has been an active member of the choir until the age of 12. She had the opportunity to perform with this very choir group at various student music festivals and competitions throughout the city of Shenzhen, China. This experience, as well as the music knowledge she received, helped her in learning flute when she first picked it up at the age of 10.
While singing made Paris fall in love with music, flute made her start taking music seriously. Studying from Ang Li, one of the best classical flutists in Shenzhen, Paris gained deeper knowledge not only about flute but also about classical music. She sought for more opportunities to make her a better flutist. Her hard work pushed her to be the top of her class. In spring 2008, Paris performed in at the Shenzhen City Concert Hall as the flute soloist along with her middle school concert band -- the youngest band that has ever performed in the City Concert Hall of Shenzhen. In high school, she was invited to play in All-County Honor band twice in Charlotte, NC and performed multiple times for her school assemblies. After serious instrumental studies at Berklee College of Music, Paris is now a multi-instrumentalist who has excellent knowledge on flute, piccolo, guitar, ukulele, piano/keyboard, singing, and percussion instruments.
