Activities
When I was in college, I was a member of a literary group, Thomasian Writers' Guild (TWG). I loved
writing poems then. But now, I have fascination with lyric making.
For more than 13 years, I played guitar professionally; composing, learning songs to be performed in
front of the audience. I'm enthusiastic composing musical ideas either with guitar, piano or using
Reason. I record those ideas using Studio One and develop them into songs.
In my down time, Iʼm taking up free online courses from Coursera, edX and FutureLearn. Hopefully, one
day, I have a chance to enroll at Berklee Online that offers Pro Tools Specialization Certificate and
other music production related courses. I guess, I just love to learn new things.
