About Me

I am always keen to learn about others, how the essence of their society shapes them to have different ways of thinking. I especially love music, whether in creation or in consumption, and in both cases the language of music crosses all boundaries!

I am based in Singapore, and I am not as well-travelled as I wish to be. And I am a city guy, but my favourite place would be in the wilderness in the highlands.

I also have a few musical projects you can check out, namely Atlas, Your Sister's Postman, and NOHSH. Two more unnamed projects on the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The lady is exceptionally fond of this community, and we have met some amazing travellers who dropped by Singapore. Some of whom have shaped how I view things that would have normally been dismissed. I think that knowledge is worth seeking, and hey, we get to make friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We were hosting a small Open Mic in a Starbucks, and one performer couldn't make it. The lady said, play me something. I went outside for 15 minutes, try out some general ideas, and improvised two instrumental pieces on the spot! This wasn't the first time tho cause I dropped by a friend's show only to be given a guitar and half an hour to pick up their set list...
