In addition to being the winner of Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra Forum for Malaysian Composers (2007), Yii Kah Hoe also received the 3rd Prize in the International Composition for Chinese Orchestra organized by the Singapore Chinese Orchestra (2006), and was a Finalist for the International Composers Competition "Città di Udine" (Italy, 2010).

Yii’s music has been described as bold and avant-garde, where he uses various sounds and rhythms of many traditional instruments from different ethnic cultures around the world.  He also uses musical space as a canvas to do sound calligraphy inspired by Chinese ink paintings that he has been practicing in his younger years.  

His keen interest in ethnic and traditional music has prompted him to continue his study and research on a wide range of folk and ethno musical materials across Southeast Asia.  In his music, Yii successfully blends western and non-western aesthetics, concepts and traditions together to create his own sonic world to express his inner spirituality. 

In 2009, Yii was the festival director of the Kuala Lumpur Contemporary Music Festival and is currently a senior lecturer at SEGi College Subang Jaya, Malaysia.
