Q & A

What word will you describe yourself?

Bubbly

What do you like doing in your spare time?

Playing Nintendo Games, reading and surfing the web for interesting topics. (Theology is my main interest right now)

Which instruments can you play well and which instruments do you really want to learn?

I play piano/keys, guitar, bass/double bass, ukulele, drums and melodion well. I recently tried the trumpet and I really want to continue learning it...

What made you pick up the bass?

My friend's mother was a extra-curricular course coordinator and she wanted me to play the bass. I got stuck with it and I bought a bass myself before "the world ended" (20 December 2012).

When was the first time you touched an instrument?

I had to play the piano when I was 5 like "every other Asian" as I would say. I got really bored after Grade 5 of ABRSM so I stopped playing classical and moved on to ear-playing the newest hits.

Who is your inspiration for music?

Bach and Handel, because I love classical music from the baroque period, Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers for rock. I also look up to Tyler Joseph from Twenty One Pilots because he is a multi-instrumentalist like me.
