Hi there!

I work as a creative strategist who specializes in branding and campaign management for cutting-edge startups, established firms looking to revitalize their image, as well as entertainment and artiste marketing. I moonlight as a session drummer and producer for a number of artistes in South East Asia as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people, and discovering local cultures from an insider's perspective.

Interests

Music is a huge part of my life, and that tends to take up most of my free time - I'm usually reading, or on Reddit otherwise. I'll also never say no to a few drinks, and black coffee as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

As of late, I've been listening to a lot of fusion - Snarky Puppy, Hiatus Kaiyote, and Benny Greb. I do listen to pretty much everything else out there though - it's part of the job. I listen to jazz and chillwave to relax, and I play for a couple of harder-hitting rock acts as well, so you can see where this is going!

Right now, I'm reading Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman and Priceless: The Myth of Fair Value by William Poundstone. I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction - I'll read anything!

I've never been into movies much, as I grew up almost exclusively with books and computers. But I do enjoy movies like Ocean's Eleven, Royal Budapest Hotel, Catch Me If You Can, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was published internationally in thirteen countries with my work translated into five languages before I turned 19! I'm twenty now.
