Biography
Pierre moved from Belgium to Taiwan after his music studies in order to learn Chinese and explore the island’s multicultural background. He later started working as a film music composer, travelling back and forth between the two countries. Children in Love was born in 2012 out of his encounter with Ya-chieh, a Taiwanese female singer and lyricist. For a four years, the duo’s music revolved around Ya-chieh’s voice and Pierre’s piano and electronic percussion, blending influences from the West and the East. They released their debut EP in 2014 under the name Western Moon and have been touring in Asia and in Europe ever since. In 2016, they started working with classically-trained Taiwanese female drummer Yi-hsuan Kuo and released their first full album. They’ve also composed the soundtrack of several short films.
