This brings back memories. I was in the Audio-Visual Club when I was in secondary school and always had to prepare microphones and carry amps for several rock bands in school. It's always like they get all the attention and we kinda do all the work, so heck I'm gonna pick em up myself! Bends on the electric guitar sounded so cool! I mean it still is now.

Describe your first experience playing on a guitar.

I gave up on the full barre 'F' chord. Went around playing bass guitar and drums, not contented with myself, went back and mug on my barre chords. Been a long long time since then!

Describe your most memorable guitar-related incident.

1. Being a top ten contestant of the Sungha Jung Guitar Competition 2016. Always miss the other 9 contestant from the competition. We've never met before but i guess having the common interest and passion in fingerstyle guitar kinda broke the ice for us!

2. Having the chance to open for Sungha Jung Live in Singapore 2016. Always wanted to play in front of thousands, alone, and i did! The glaring stage lights, the pitched black darkness filled with thousands of audience, the awkward silence while you plug in and last but not least, the applause.

3. Being an ambassador for Maestro Guitars Singapore.

I kinda have three dreams I wished to be fulfilled, and it did. All within the span of 3 months, after 16 years of working on the craft. I'd always wanted to win something and I did. I'd always wanted to perform on a big stage and I did. I'd always wanted to be good enough to be an ambassador of a guitar company and I did! Super honoured to be a part of Maestro Guitars Singapore!

As of now, I am using a Maestro Custom VERA MR (left) for performances and a Maestro ET-1C travel guitar (right) for classes.

Probably the VERA!

First guitar: It's an Ashton Classical Guitar my sister got from Australia.

Favourite guitar brand/ model: I generally like the Maestro custom series. The neck feels so good!

Favourite guitarist: Pete Huttlinger. Every single note he plays sings!

First song you learned to play on guitar: I don't remember. I'm sure it didn't have an 'F' chord though.

Most difficult song you have played on guitar: Any Tommy Emmanuel songs would be the 'most' difficult song.
