About

In 2011, Michael Tu introduced the members from MUSA's Trio - Musa, LuKa and Gaofei - to Gary. The idea of SENSATION was born after the members had a brief communication in music and live jamming.[3]

Not only as a band or musical group, according to Gary, "Gary Chaw x MUSA's Trio x Michael Tu = SENSATION" is also a new musical concept and label, which he would like to produce as projects.[2][4][5]

They [secretly] performed live in Riverside Café Taipei once in 2011 for their independent debut.[6]
