Born into a music family of Taitung, Vunkiatt is the grandson of the “Father of Puyuma Music”—Lu Sen-bao. In his early years, Lu Sen-bao showed his remarkable musical talent by creating numerous traditional songs of Puyuma tribe, which are still sung by the members of the tribe.
Vunkiatt has inherited the talent of his grandfather. He is not only bass player of a band called “A-minor” but has also written a large number of songs. A great example of is work, which shows a beautiful combination of Mandarin and Puyuma dialect, is the song “Flowing Love” recorded on the album ”Am until the sunrise”.
