VAN LEFAN

Van Lefan 樂凡 is a Taiwanese interdisciplinary artist currently based in Vancouver, BC, working between sound, dance, Northern Shaolin kung fu, theatre, and visual arts. With her voice, guitar, flute, and live electronics, she moves between folk, pop, and experimental sound, writing songs that are inquiries into both personal and collective experiences. Her works serve as spaces to process, grieve, resist despair through hope, explore possibilities, and discover new ways to co-create a world of our imaginations.

Her album “What Holds Us Together?” is a sonic journey synergizing folk, pop, experimental soundscapes and poetry, weaving a tapestry of ancestry, identity, ecological reverence and social justice. Her second album "Unsent Letters: To Whom It May Concern” was released in March 2025. Lefan has performed at TaiwanFest, Jade Music Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Vines Arts Festival, and across Taiwan. She also works as a theatre sound designer, and 4DSOUND technician at Lobe Spatial Sound Studio.
