mui zyu is a British/Hong Kong artist based in London who crafts music that feels like stepping
into a dream – where delicate melodies, haunting textures, and surreal storytelling blur the lines
between reality and fantasy. Drawing inspiration from her parents’ Cantonese record collection,
video game soundtracks and film scores, her sound is both intimate and cinematic, dark yet full
of hope. Her lyrics explore themes of cultural displacement, escapism, and alienation, creating a
world that is abstract yet deeply personal. The Guardian describes the mui zyu world as
“playful pop that’s left-field and tender, dissonant and melodic all at once… crafting her own
absurd, beautiful home.”
Critically acclaimed for her distinct artistic voice, mui zyu has released two records with US label
Father/Daughter Records, as well as an EP of Cantonese songs. She has performed shows in
Europe, North America and East Asia.
With a new record currently in the works, mui zyu continues to expand her unsettling sonic
universe.
