Tsui does all the singing, but Kurt Hugo Schneider finesses Tsui’s a cappella efforts into a group act. Schneider assembles and synchronizes [individual video clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folksee) of Tsui singing into ‘group’ performances. Schneider also creates the [song arrangements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chordvault).
