About

Beyond the image. Into the story.

CUT TO is an independent culture publication exploring music, creators and cultural voices across Asia.

We’re interested in what stays with us beyond the release, the stage and the promotional image.

Through stories, live reporting and visual storytelling, we look at the people and ideas behind the work — across music, film, fashion and the wider culture. Conversations will be part of that exploration, too.

Founded by Xuanyi Li and Lisa Chen, CUT TO grows from a shared background in artist interviews, live and cultural reporting, photography and visual storytelling.

The founders’ prior interview experience includes Big Ocean, NoSo and ONE PACT, shaping the editorial perspective behind CUT TO.

We want to make room for thoughtful stories about process, identity and the choices that shape creative life.
