In his growing years, he developed a strong interest in jazz and pop music which led to him picking up the electric bass at age 16. He eventually pursued his interest and graduated with a Masters degree in Jazz from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in 2019. His music reflects a blend of European and Asian influence, transcending traditional and contemporary jazz sound. Hsieh is currently based in Taiwan as a jazz musician and music educator.
