Bolis’ music is a joyous cross-cultural assemblage, mixing widescreen electronica with the warm-hearted and wonky naivete of Belgian New Beat. Bolis’ singular sonics are at once playful, emotive, unrelenting and tender.

The real key to unlocking Bolis’ musical secret is the conversation he has between his Eastern and Western roots. It’s something that he has unapologetically and enthusiastically explored on his solo debut LP, ‘Letter To Yu’. Growing up Bolis had not negated his Chinese roots exactly – his mother was born in Hong Kong – but he certainly hadn’t embraced them. However, in the wake of his mother passing away in 2008, he began coming to terms with his heritage. His first visit to Hong Kong further crystallised how Bolis wanted to incorporate his Chinese legacy into his music.

Bolis began writing a letter to his mother so he could properly grasp his thoughts. This communicative outpouring not only provided ‘Letter To Yu’ with its title, but introduces this stylistically rich, sonically nuanced and emotional piece of creativity.
