Hi! I'm a music composer and arranger. I create music for a variety of genres - theatre, cartoons, concert music - in a variety of styles - from classical to rock to hip hop and so forth. I enjoy taking up the challenge of learning new musical styles that I am unfamiliar with, not only for clients who request for these styles but for use in other works. I especially like to hybridise my music by gelling different elements of music together within the same composition or arrangement.

I am currently a composer/arranger at Stereo Image Productions, as well as an arranger/keyboardist of Buddhist Fellowship's Soracco Musical Group. Besides these I am also masquerading as a student around NUS who has a keen interest in History and Southeast Asia, among other things.

I perform live as well as programme music minus-one tracks; sometimes I also do a combination of both (for live performances). Software that I use include: Propellerhead's Reason (sequencing), Pro Tools LE (mixing), Sibelius (notation)
