Tony Yang

Tony Yang, also known as 楊伯翊 (Yáng•bó•yì) and PaprTape (formerly known as PaperTape), is a multifaceted artist who has made a name for himself as a composer, sound designer, and musician. With a passion for blending traditional and modern techniques, PaprTape creates music in a variety of genres for top clients and listeners worldwide.

PaprTape's impressive work has caught the attention of Arturia, who featured him in their Artist Story series for his work on Burberry's Olympia Bag Campaign starring Mia Kong. His talent and dedication to the craft have also led to various commissions, including projects for the Museum of Chinese in America and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

PaprTape was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and began playing the violin and piano at a young age before traveling back and forth between the United States and Taiwan to learn from various teachers. He studied with Khuillip Jeung from The Juilliard School and went on to win first place in the International Floral Expo Remix Competition for remixing Teresa Tang's "What Would You Say" during his career in Asia. He later produced a girl group and worked on music and sound design for JJ Lin's 友人說 Somebody.

PaprTape's talent and dedication led him to an apprenticeship with Michael Riesman, music director of the Philip Glass Ensemble, where he worked on scores and recordings with Philip Glass. Since then, he has continued to produce, compose, and perform for some of the top brands and artists in the world, including The Gap, Marshall Headphones, and Burberry.

He currently resides in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
