Meet Gianne, a rising singer-songwriter, mental health advocate, and self-care enthusiast based in the peaceful coastal neighborhood of Discovery Bay, Hong Kong. Known for her soulful voice and honest storytelling, Gianne is carving out a unique space in music that blends creativity with purpose.
Gianne’s Favorite Self-Care Rituals
In the fast-paced energy of Hong Kong, Gianne stays grounded through yoga and sound healing. “They help me feel centered, especially on hectic days” she shares. Living in Discovery Bay, her perfect day off means staying in, recharging in nature, and spending time with her four cats.

A Taste of Hong Kong: Gianne’s Local Food Picks
For anyone visiting Hong Kong, Gianne recommends taking the ferry from Central Pier to the outlying islands. Cheung Chau, for instance, is a hidden gem for local street food. Her personal favorite? The tender beef brisket noodles (牛腩撈粗) at San Choi Noodle in Causeway Bay!
From Music to Mental Health Advocacy
Gianne’s debut song, “My Own Zone,” is a bilingual track inspired by her own healing journey. After navigating mental health struggles for over a decade, she found power in songwriting and created music that speaks to others who may feel unheard or misunderstood.
“I used to post emo lyrics on Instagram to cope,” she recalls. “Now I share my story openly to remind others that they’re not alone.”
Through her podcast Calmed and her growing online presence, Gianne uses her platform to break the stigma around mental health, especially in Asian communities where conversations are often overlooked.

Self-Care in a Fast-Paced Culture
Living in Hong Kong, Gianne observes self-care is often squeezed into brief windows of time. From 45-minute fitness classes to quick beauty treatments, the goal is efficiency. Though she’s a big believer in slowing down when needed and encourages others to do the same.
Her best advice? “Self-care doesn’t have to be big. Start with small, consistent practices like journaling, walking, or even a few deep breaths.”
In a world that moves fast, Gianne’s journey is a gentle nudge to slow down, listen inward, and make space for what truly matters.
