I was not born into music, but it found me for some reason at the ripe old age of 16. My brother's old dusty guitar and a couple of instructional manuals sparked off an obsession that gave me a direction and shaped me into the oddity that I am today.

For several years I was active in Singapore's local scene, being a member of the Singapore Armed Forces Music and Drama Company Show Band and Men's Acapella Ensemble, funk/rock band "The Sexies" and still active jazz/fusion group "Kimchi and The Laksas". With these groups, among others, I have played National Countdown Shows, the Mosaic Music Festival, opened for Grammy Winners Hoobastank, and toured in Australia and Brunei.

I enrolled in Berklee in 2009 with an entering student scholarship and am now majoring in Jazz Composition. I was recently a recipient of the Herb Pomeroy Endowed Scholarship Award for outstanding achievement in the Jazz Composition department, and have been on the Dean's list every semester. Awards outside of school include being a finalist in the European Talent Award (Soundtrack Cologne 9.0 in 2012).

I have also performed as an instrumentalist, vocalist, and conductor with such Berklee ensembles as the Musical Theatre Orchestra, The Musical Theatre Chorus, The Male Gospel Choir, Pop/Rock Live 2011, Thinkin' Big, Phil Wilson's Rainbow Band and the LA Studio Ensemble. My work in musicals includes being a pit musician or singer for stagings of Next to Normal, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Aida, Ragtime and Before the Fame in the Boston area. As a studio guitarist, I have played on chart-topping albums in both Southeast and East Asia.

My primary interests lie in creating music to serve the purposes and as well as to augment such forms of media as video games and film, among others.
