J. J. Chuan is a Singaporean artist and designer whose practice bridges sustainability, material innovation and music in art. A graduate of Parsons The New School of Design, she has lived and worked in Singapore, Malaysia, New York and Shanghai, shaping a multi-local perspective that informs her creative work.

She is best known for pioneering MusicCloth®, a textile woven from discarded cassette and video tapes developed through her upcycling initiative Rehyphen®. By transforming obsolete materials into a new artistic medium, Chuan challenges perceptions of waste while opening conversations on value, memory and sustainability.

Chuan is a former music composer and lyricists. Her recent released co-write songs include Donnie Yen's daughter Jasmine Yen’s rst single <idk> and rst album <tbh>, and Diana Wang <Bedroom> which released by Sony Music Entertainment's RCA Greater China Record. As a musician, she creatively combines her music talent into her artwork where each piece of her artwork comes with her music demo that inspired by the music from the cassette tapes when she weaves. Collectors would be able to access her music demo and feel a multisensory experience that she preserved. This fusion of past and present, heritage and contemporary art, material and sound, weaves a compelling narrative of cultural continuity and environmental responsibility.

Her contributions have earned her international recognition, including being named one of Kevin McCloud’s Top 7 Green Heroes (2018 & 2019), inclusion in the Red Dot Design Museum’s 100 Asia’s social design showcase (2020), and recognition as one of Singapore’s Inspiring Women Leaders by City Developments Limited (2020). Chuan has showcased her work during Bangkok Biennale, Maison & Object Paris, Taipei Not Just a Library, Art Jameel Dubai, Red Dot Museum China, Pitti Uomo 97, Aordable Art Fair, New York Time Square and more.
