College Life

Joel Seah will be holding a ZOOM lecture on April 27nd, 2021 at 7:00 PM.

Joel Seah was born in Singapore and grew up in New York City. Seah states “Like every good Asian child, I began piano lessons at the age of four”. Since then, playing professionally has afforded numerous expensive personal habits such as rib-eye and merlot. Paid performances have also granted the privilege of funding his undergraduate and graduate education in Printmaking. After briefly working as an academic, he left to establish himself in Detroit, Michigan where he currently works as a full-time performing musician. He also leads his trio Jelly & Jams, which he founded to explore the intersections between musical theatre and jazz repertoire. Formal training as a printmaker has influenced his exploration into digital technologies including high resolution scanning, video capture, digital image manipulation, as well as a variety of print output and transfer methods. He explores ways in which these can be used to reconstruct the process of documentation and memory often as it pertains to the ideas of immigration and dislocation.
