"I want to share Chinese instruments with the world. There is no boundary in music. It is one of the reasons that I started Amare Girls Band and I am glad to work with such talented musicians", said Annie.
Annie Zhou brought her band "Amare Girls Band" to the 62nd LA County Holiday Celebration on 12/24/2021, and they received positive feedback from the audience.

Her original songs were broadcast by music stations and used by many film composers in the United States. Her original compositions "Spring Sprouts," "Unsettled," "Countryside Rhapsody," and "Amare Girls" have all been awarded.
