PitTan (Hana Tan) is a classically trained violinist, arranger and remote recording artist based in Sydney, Australia. PitTan has graduated from the University of Sydney/Sydney Conservatorium of Music with a double degree of Biomedical Engineering Honours and Music Studies (Violin Performance) with first class honours. At an early age, PitTan was mesmerised with video game music (VGM) and kickstarted her amateur violin recording career on YouTube in 2012. Little did she know that it would have led her to having her own violin recordings on video games such as Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane, Bits & Bops, her recordings for HOYO-MiX – Honkai: Star Rail’s online music concert and founding her own VGM trio called The V2R Trio.

PitTan has been a violinist for over 20 years, with an abundance of solo, chamber and orchestral experience. As most of her childhood and teen life involved mastering violin classical repertoire, she enjoys exploring and performing different genres such as tango, R&B, pop and jazz. PitTan is also learning bass guitar and occasionally enjoys covering genres outside of VGM.

PitTan has been a remote recording artist for over 10 years. Since starting her YouTube channel, PitTan has arranged and produced many VGM covers with local and international musicians, as well as created a few VGM albums for audio streaming platforms, including a Xenoblade Chronicles 2 album with TPR and a Super Mario Galaxy album with The V2R Trio. Besides VGM, she’s been a session musician for new compositions remotely and in house.

PitTan has been arranging music, specifically for chamber ensembles since 2014. As she adores chamber music, her arrangement strengths also lie there too, as she believes there is more magic to showcase in an intimate music experience. Noticeably, as she enjoys a wide range of genres, she takes inspiration from them to be used in her arrangements. PitTan’s arrangements have been performed live at festivals, conventions, concerts, functions and audio streaming platforms. She was commissioned to arrange two Pokémon arrangements for Sinister Creative’s concert “Super Effective” in 2022.

PitTan is the digital media manager for The Modést Orchestra and has also been the concertmaster for their concerts. She performs regularly at weddings, functions and conventions with V2R or PitTan & Co. Besides music, you can find her playing video games, eating good food and waiting for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.
