A native of Shanghai, China, Qi Zhang started learning piano at the age of 3. From an early age, Zhang’s music talent was apparent. At the age of 8, Zhang was selected into the prestigious Shanghai Music Middle School affiliated to Shanghai Music Conservatory, in which Zhang was the only piano student being accepted from Shanghai that year. Zhang has won numerous competition prizes both in China and in the state, including the China National Piano Competition, The US Open Piano Competition and The Julia Crane International Piano Competition.
