Martin Leung is widely recognized as a classical pianist and as an influential performer in the introduction and development
of video game soundtracks as a performing art. Since 2004 his work has transformed countless listeners into performers worldwide and "started a very interesting internet phenomenon" (Project Coe). He has performed as soloist and on concert series and education programs on 5 continents. He has soloed with the Leipzig Academic Orchestra, Canada's Saskatoon, Regina, and Sudbury symphonies, the Pittsburgh Symphony and others, working with Horst Förster, Victor Sawa, Lucas Richman, Arthur B. Rubinstein, Carl St. Clair, Tito Muñoz, and Peter Fournier. He has played at the Los Angeles International Liszt Winners Concert (1998, 2000, 2016 Zoltán Rozsnyai Memorial Prize), American Liszt Society Festival, Pianofest in the Hamptons, Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, Steinway Hall, Royal Festival Hall, and major game conventions in Leipzig and Brazil.

I've been busy teaching piano, practicing piano, learning Japanese, training with a cross country team, as well as running sometimes up to 100 miles a week. Last Sunday I ran the Long Beach half marathon! Though I've been busy lately, I haven't forgotten about streaming! I'd like to stream more regularly.
