Bio
Music appealed to me from my earliest days, for which I quite quickly went out on a limb with an irrepressible spirit. When there eventually was money, I threw myself ardently into all sorts of opportunities without moderation and enjoyed myself immensely. Later on, I stumbled into arts technology, pedagogy, and ethnography–developing deep interests for them.
I had the fortune of having good teachers, all whom with inspiring and practical qualities tempered my artistic sensibilities, industry acumen, and professionalism, making things possible for me. I became prolific and befriended useful people, who in turn improved my luck and chances. When YouTube came into existence, I became known for a musical skill that subsequently evolved into the archetypal hand-drum method practised in contemporary percussion communities across the world.
These days, I teach more. I also write, publish, and mentor arts professionals. In 2020, I developed a digital pedagogy curriculum for the National Institute of Education Singapore and have since been teaching it to arts educators and government school teachers. I enjoy conversations with my children and friends, playing the occasional music gig, and going about my days unhurriedly.
