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, she moves between folk, pop, and experimental sound, writing songs that are inquiries into both personal and collective experiences. Her works serve as existential reflections on finding magic and purpose within the ordinary, and prayers for collective liberation. 

Her debut album “What Holds Us Together?” (2022) is a sonic journey that synergizes folk, pop, experimental soundscapes and poetry, weaving a tapestry of ancestry, identity, ecological reverence and social justice. She will be releasing her second album "Unsent Letters: To Whom It May Concern” in February 2025. In recent years, Lefan has performed at Taiwan Fest Vancouver, Jade Music Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Vines Arts Festival, Vancouver Mural Festival, and across Taiwan on a joint tour with Tennyson King in April 2024. She also works as a sound designer for theatre productions, and 4DSOUND technician at Lobe Spatial Sound Studio.
