About Myself:
I have a deep passion for creating music with others, as I truly value the spirit of collaboration and the meaningful connections it fosters. There’s something special about working together to bring artistic visions to life.
Beyond music, I enjoy spending time by the water. Whether relaxing at the beach or swimming in a serene lake or the open sea, I find it refreshing and inspiring. I also love travel and look forward to visiting Japan soon—a very exciting goal!
I’m also an avid food enthusiast. From dumplings and ramen to a comforting dish of beef caldereta, I thoroughly enjoy discovering and savouring different cuisines. Life is about the harmony of creativity, exploration, and shared experiences.
