Beginning from classical music then switched to jazz world with the professional experiences in piano performance more than 30 years, I possesses not only a profound repertoire in both classical and jazz genre, but also interprets the music from both perspectives in my performance.
“With a confident, graceful tone and a smart harmonic sensibility...with his harmonic concept at its most sophisticated, it’s the record’s best evidence that Hon has a promising career ahead of him in this music.”

Endorse Francis Hon Music
check_circleVerifiedEven though I had insufficient music theory understanding, Francis was willing to work with me and was super attentive to my vision for the song. When I first listened to Francis's arrangement, I was left speechless, for it not only fitted perfectly with all of my demands but it went beyond my expectations and basically reshaped the project and offered it the song a new color. Thank you Francis! Can't wait to continue to work with you on this project.

Francis is an amazing Pianist and Composer. He completed the work quickly and was very professional.
Francis is very professional, responsive and punctual. Above all he is also a talented pianist who brought my recording to next level, really happy for having him.
I worked with Francis many times in recording session and live performance, he is not only a great pianist but also very knowledgeable about various music genres/styles, chord progression, and theory. All these can be heard in his works of playing and improvisation, highly recommended!

Few months ago, I had an opportunity to compose and record the piano arrangement for this beautiful song “Judy” through SoundBetter. It’s the first single by Australian producer 88 Ravens, now available on all music platforms worldwide.
Listen to it and you’ll find a peace of mind🍃
