In 2018, he received his Artist Diploma from the Cleveland Institute of Music.

In 2020, he released his first internationally distributed solo piano album, Dawn and Dusk, which won the Best Solo Piano Album at the 2021 European Young Artists Music Awards. In recognition of his outstanding musical achievements and contributions to international cultural exchange, the United Nations World Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Foundation awarded him the title of “Model of Cultural Innovation” in 2023.
