Tiana Feng’s life is surrounded by music.

She’s the owner, editor and photographer for Canadian music website Ride the Tempo. She graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Music in Performance. She works in the marketing and communications department for SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada). And finally, she’s a juror for Polaris Prize, Prism Prize, JUNO Awards and FACTOR.

On top of all that, Ride the Tempo hosts live shows and she teaches piano. Phew.

In this episode, Tiana talks about getting a post-post-secondary education, experiencing the all-too-familiar job-hunting nightmare that most 20-somethings currently face, taking on not-so-glamourous internships, and the feeling she gets when music brings people together.

We hope you enjoy Tiana’s story!
