Description from forgood 好多音樂 (translation below):
許多製作案背後的音樂好手 Daphne Su 蘇子茵 ＆ 許郁瑛 Yuying Hsu
Daphne Su 蘇子茵
顛覆傳統的小提琴跨界創作家，長年於紐約發展，高中畢業曾榮獲總統教育卓越獎、全國管弦樂獎及亞裔美國人領導獎，2003年獲得全額獎學金進入密西根大學音樂系，畢業於茱莉亞音樂學院小提琴演奏碩士。曾擔任Tanglewood Music Center 樂團首席，太平洋音樂節副首席，茱莉亞音樂學院樂團副首席/第二小提琴首席，密西根大學愛樂管弦樂團及交響樂團首席及Ann Arbor交響樂團小提琴手，與世界知名指揮家James Levine、Valerie Gergiev、Riccardo Muti、Oliver Knussen、Andre Previn及Bernard Haitink等合作演出。
在讀書期間，蘇子茵遵循了以往傳統的音樂班路線一路念到了碩士，拉琴對她來說已經是生活中再平凡不過的事情，反而因此感覺不到特別的火花存在。考上了紐約市立大學研究中心（C.U.N.Y）的博士班後，也同時錄取名琴拍賣公司（Tarisio Auctions）的專案經理一職，在老師的鼓勵之下，蘇子茵選擇了與往不同的路，進入職場培養對琴與聲音的鑑賞力。開始工作之後，音樂在她的世界變成了生活中的抒發，卸下音樂學院裡的種種壓力，更能依照自己的想法拉琴，更感覺快樂，也真正開始了解自己是多麼喜歡音樂的。有段時間，她擔任調琴大師莫瑞爾（René A. Morel）的行政助理，有一天公司想試琴，請了幾位演奏家拉過，聲音還不錯，想再聽看看「普通人」拉出來的聲音，便請蘇子茵拉看看，試完琴之後，莫瑞爾驚訝地看著她說：「你為什麼在這裡工作？」之後，莫瑞爾常常鼓勵她重回音樂圈，認為她的使命就是音樂。這樣的肯定讓她感到開心與自信，理解音樂的力量是真正能夠改變人的一生，而不只是被他人檢視與批評，重新點燃了熱情。
回到台灣之後，蘇子茵有感於台灣的音樂曲風幾乎都是各玩各的，因此她以跨界的方式，陸續和各種風格的音樂家合作，也在因緣際會之下，接觸了六絃電小提琴（Viper），以踩下破音效果器的方式，拓展自己的可能。她參與了無數張流行音樂的弦樂錄製，如張惠妹 A-mei/A-mit、周杰倫 Jay Chou、陳綺貞 Cheer Chen、LaLa徐佳瑩、魏如萱 waa wei、蔡健雅 Tanya Chua等歌手，現今已是眾多管弦樂團、唱片製作、電影配樂、現場演唱會的指定樂手。
