I'm a songwriter/composer from Malaysia, and my main genres are pop, rock, Christian/inspirational, and my absolute favorite, contemporary musical theatre - which has seen me write in a variety of styles such as electronica, R&B, jazz and classical.
Right now I'm focusing more on writing radio-friendly songs in addition to working on several musical theatre projects. I'm looking to meet creative people - composers, playwrights, musicians, lyricists - for friendships and collaborations.
I'd like to meet new friends who might be looking to record / produce original songs, to collaborate on new material, or to work on a musical theatre project... I'm especially keen on writing material for other people, so if you're an artiste or music producer in need of original songs, please do not hesitate to contact me. Otherwise, if you like my music or would just like to say hello, please also feel free to send me a message or friend request.

Most recently, my music work in a stage adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol has been nominated for a Cameronian Award, which recognises talent and the arts in Malaysia, for Best Music in a theatre production. Other credits include my musical The Edge, which was workshopped in Kuala Lumpur in July 208 to critical acclaim; and my Christmas-themed musical Follow The Light, which won Second Place for Best Musical in Western Australia's Finley Awards for Independent Theatre 2005, where I was also awarded a Special Certificate for Overall Achievement (Construction and Writing) in the same awards.
Other songwriting accomplishments include being a Hot Pick Winner and Distinction commendation recipient in the Pacific Songwriting Competition for 2005 and 2006 respectively.

“There is quite a list of things; that I should have done. Ending world hunger, bringing people closer, is just one. Removing guns and violence, and bringing prosperity. Just another one of the things, which I should have taken upon me. The list of things I should have done may never end; However, the rest of my life is right there; Right around the bend.”
