The Wong Janice (NL)

The Wong Janice is a cellist and composer whose ambient soundscapes embody a singular philosophy: to be free. Through her music, she offers a profound invitation to release the mind's burdens 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, this trance requires full presence, allowing for an effortless glide of sound beyond traditional structures. This mastery emerged after a pivotal ten-day Vipassana silent meditation course, leading her to realize her purpose was to create music that helps others find stillness and healing.

Janice's layered soundscapes, crafted with cello, effect pedals, and loop machines, guide listeners inward.

A recognized leader in the digital wellness space, Janice pioneered the virtual concert format during the pandemic, successfully delivering over 200 corporate wellness sessions and 100+ ticketed public cello meditation concerts. Her expertise has led to the delivery of these sessions for a roster of the world's most prestigious organizations, including Google (10x), McKinsey & Company, Facebook, and Shopify.

This innovative approach, which was notably featured by Forbes, now feeds a global community of 57,000 Insight Timer followers and regular monthly live streams drawing up to 500 attendees. Her overall Spotify catalog boasts over 73 million streams, with her latest album, Cello and Water Meditations: Music for the Tao, submitted for Grammy® consideration in the category Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album.

She has performed at prestigious events including TEDxAmsterdam and Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), and led a morning meditation at Down The Rabbit Hole with RY X.

Janice's biggest joy remains helping people worldwide connect to their inner peace and freedom through music.
