Our 2025 Featured Performers

At the Night Market, Think!Chinatown presents a series of culturally relevant musical performances at the upper plaza. With much joy, we announced our 2025 Night Market performer — treya lam, a multi-instrumentalist and composer with a voice that will move you. Welcoming treya back to our stage on Forsyth Plaza will be a sweet full circle moment as they were the first performer for our stage in 2021. Throughout the night, Think!Chinatown’s resident DJ yiuyiu 瑤瑤of Chinatown Records spinned Canto and Mandopop records inherited from family, friends, and neighbors, with performances.

TREYA LAM 林婷怡

treya lam is a multi-instrumentalist and composer who’s joyously complex identity informs but does not define their work, whether solo or when collaborating with a variety of multidisciplinary ensembles. Their strident voice, politically charged songwriting and fluency on guitar, piano and looped viola recalls Nina Simone and Andrew Bird. treya’s debut Good News was created entirely by womxn and genderqueer collaborators and released via Kaki King’s label.

ANNIE YURONG YU 俞毓蓉

YuRong Yu – “Annie” is a professional singer from China. She is expanding her repertoire by adding popular American songs. Annie performs traditional and popular Chinese songs. Her soft voice captures the essence and feelings of the Chinese culture by singing love songs and memories of the Country’s simple life. By adding American popular songs to her repertoire, Annie wants to bring those same feelings and memories to an American audience.

CHINATOWN RECORDS - YIUYIU 瑤瑤

Pulling from family collections inherited from longtime Chinatown members and her own family, yiuyiu (aka Rochelle Kwan) takes us back in time. We travel to 1950s-80s Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China, and also to the homes that these records once rang through. This project is a community effort rooted in fostering intergenerational relationships and dance floors through music and memory.
