Chen hints at getting into songwriting in the future and suggests a solo album could be in the works. But for now he is focusing on fresh material, including new arrangements of traditional songs and a few Mandarin songs.
While Chen continues to nudge the boundaries of traditional music, he keeps his roots in view. "I am able to do this because I grew up in an environment where music was a part of my life. I understand this now more than ever," he said.
