Born in China, British Pianist Mengyang started her professional training at the prestigious Central Conservatory of Music - Affiliated Middle School in Beijing at the age of 10. Having been a prize winner of some of the top competitions in China, including the "China Xinghai" Competition and the "Mido" International Music Competition, she relocated to the UK with a full scholarship to continue her study at the Purcell School for Young Musicians under the tutelage of Prof. Tessa Nicolson. She subsequently completed her music education at the Royal College of Music, London, mentored by distinguished professors Gordon Fergus-Thompson and Prof. Vanessa Latarche.

Appreciated for her delicate touch and tonal shades, critics described her playing of Debussy Images book 2 as "[…] so fine that time seemed to stand still. Her shading, use of tone colour, and the most brilliantly clear and precise placing of the music in the highest register were a real joy to hear." In addition to appreciative reviews of her traditional repertoire choices, she is a champion of contemporary music. Her rendition of Helmuth Lachenmann's Wigenmusik and Serynade received highly complimentary comments from the composer and multiple positive reviews in newspapers such as The Times.

Mengyang also worked with some of the most renowned conductors in the world. Her performance of Liszt Piano Concerto No. 1 with Vladimir Ashkenazy at the Royal College of Music was described as "electrifying." She also collaborated with conductor John Wilson, playing the John Ireland Piano Concerto, and her performance of the Szymanowski Symphonie Concertante with conductor Mikk Murdvee at the Purcell Room, London Southbank, received the highest acclaim. Since 2016, Mengyang has collaborated regularly with conductor Michael Rose and the Bedford Symphony Orchestra, performing several piano concerti. The British audience in attendance enthusiastically acclaimed her latest performance of the Schumann Piano Concerto in February 2023.

Mengyang has also performed in many corporate events for charity, including Centrica, the Royal College of Music, the Royal Opera House, and Cancer Research UK.

In 2024, Mengyang co-founded the Elisi-Pan Piano Duo with pianist Enrico Elisi (Harold D. and Imogen Herndon Professor in Music at Texas Christian University). The duo has already drawn high praise from audiences and reviewers alike. It will continue to provide a diverse musical experience worldwide by presenting recitals across the UK, Italy, Taiwan, Indonesia, the USA, and China in the coming months.

In addition to being an active performer, Mengyang is a dedicated educator, a piano professor at the Royal College of Music, and a chamber music coach at the RCM Junior Department.
