Tina Guo began playing the cello at the age of four and experienced an early life filled with endless hours of practice, which took a toll on her, but yet, she was able to claw her way up, as she said it herself, and reach great heights. Her classical training has given her a strong foundation and versatility as a musician, allowing her to seamlessly transition between genres.

Tina drew inspiration from rock and metal music to use her electric cello in a such an amazing way that Hans Zimmer called her two weeks after the release of her "Queen Bee" video.. Her unique combination of instruments has led her to perform on many Hollywood films and video game soundtracks. From "Iron Man 2" to "World of Warcraft", she's lent her talents to some of the biggest names in the industry.
