Our Team

Started by two childhood friends and skilled artists, Ray and Isabelle share a passion to mend, heal, and enthuse others through music and art.

Ray Zhang, Co-Founder

A freshman at the University of Southern California, Ray began performing and playing piano at the age of 5 and made his orchestral debut in Italy, where he performed with the Alicante Symphony.

Since September 2016, Ray has been under the expert tutelage of Professor Sasha Starcevich in Seattle and frequently performs internationally across the United States, Asia, and Europe. Music has been an integral part of Ray’s growth and is a gift he has strived to share with others. When Ray is not competing abroad, he has spent time performing for local senior homes and charities including the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Isabelle Wang, Co-Founder

Isabelle Wang is a senior at West Point Grey Academy and spends her leisure engaging in a variety of hobbies: fine arts, golfing, snowboarding, and air rifle shooting. 

In particular, Isabelle uses her fervent passion for fine arts as an outlet to address prevalent social issues and unite our ever-divisive world. Her artistry highlights urgent issues like the Ukraine refugee situation and the need for better Asian representation among youth. Isabelle uses her art as a universal medium to foster collective humanity and assert a vision of hope and unity in her community. 

Massimo Valiante, Instructor

A Junior at Burnaby North Secondary School, Massimo Valiante is a driven individual excelling in both academics and competitive go-kart racing. His passion for speed has instilled in him discipline, perseverance, and an ability to navigate challenges with resilience.

Beyond his personal pursuits, Massimo actively contributes to his community through his involvement with Thrive Refuge, where he shares and teaches his skills in coding and digital literacy to newcomer youth. His commitment to making a positive impact is evident in his dedication to fostering growth and opportunity for others, all while striving to create a more inclusive and connected world.
