The Wong Janice is a cellist and composer whose work embodies a singular philosophy: to be free. Through ambient cello music, she offers a profound invitation to release the mind's burdens, find liberation from suffering, and embrace the freedom to be truly oneself.

Her distinct sound is born from an immersive, improvised "flow" state, where conscious thought recedes and music is channeled through her as a vessel. Much like her passion for inline blading and speed skating, this deep trance requires full presence, allowing for an effortless glide of sound beyond traditional structures. This mastery of intuitive improvisation emerged from a journey that began as a classical cellist and marketing professional, transforming after a pivotal ten-day Vipassana silent meditation course. It was there she discovered the key to unlocking self-imposed shackles, realizing her purpose was to create music that helps others find stillness, healing, and the ultimate freedom of self-expression.

Janice's layered soundscapes, crafted with cello, effect pedals, and loop machines, invite deep introspection, guiding listeners inward. Her latest album, "Cello and Water Meditations: Music for the Tao," is a Grammy® Album for your consideration, and her overall Spotify catalog boasts over 73 million streams and counting. She also has 57,000 followers on the meditation app Insight Timer. Beyond numbers, she inspires profound personal shifts; numerous listeners who have been touched by her music's healing power, have been moved to pick up the cello themselves later in life, proving it's never too late to embrace a new path.

She has performed at prestigious events including TEDxAmsterdam, Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), and Down The Rabbit Hole, where she led a morning meditation with RY X and Michelle de Bruijn. Her innovative virtual cello meditation concerts during the pandemic were featured by Forbes and Lonely Planet, and her monthly live streams engage a global community of 500 attendees. Janice's biggest joy remains helping people worldwide connect to their inner peace and freedom through music.

NEW ALBUM FOR YOUR GRAMMY CONSIDERATION: ‘Cello for the Moon Phases’

Born during the COVID-19 pandemic, ‘Cello for the Moon Phases’ were originally series of journaling live-streams - one of the new moon and one of the full moon. It was a moment of ‘down time’ at home for all and many people from the Wong community came together twice a month online to attend the sessions and complete the journaling worksheet and meditate to the cello music. It was obvious people really needed this time of gathering and time to reflect. After a few years, these concepts are now packaged as one meditation for each moon phase (each single includes an additional radio edit and a 1-hour extended sleep mix) and the album is a compilation of the radio edits with 2 additional bonus tracks.
