About me

While having various project and work experiences in several fields of audio and music since starting in Singapore in 2004, I currently work as a freelance sound recordist based in London since 2013.

Over the many various paid projects I have been involved in till now, I always work towards being part of making each and every production achieve its best - taking pride in the process and genuinely enjoying my role in production sound.
Additional information:
I also provide post production sound services (e.g. stereo mixing, sound design, dialogue editing, Foley)

My previous related experiences include being a part of and representing the audio team at Focal Rhythm Productions based in East London for 4 and a half years, taking responsibility over all location sound projects, including expanding clientele, and budgeting, planning and executing their productions' audio requirements.

Music professional:
In the field of music, I have been a musician/songwriter/performer for over 10 years, across several bands in the Pop/Rock/Alternative genres up till today. I first took up an education in film, sound and video studies, and specialised in location sound recording and audio post (sound design and music composition).

I have worked under an audio/visual supplier company as a rigger for audio/lighting equipment, and as a live sound technician, involved in the set up of events of all kinds at various venues presenting unique challenges to ensuring a smooth show. I have also been a gig organiser for Home Club, Singapore.

I took up music producing, record and mix engineering, thus studying in SAE London to be more versatile in skills. I am currently engaged in freelance projects where I do more location sound recording and post production.
