Listen to My New Song
Before I Knew the Word
BEFORE I KNEW THE WORD This is my first public performance of "Before I Knew the Word" a song I composed with my dad. It is a song about the journey of growing up - how sometimes you can feel something before fully understanding the meaning or being able to ascribe a word to it. This Debut performance was on April 18th, 2026, during the inaugural Presentation of the St Michel Foundation in Rome. Rachel Lozano an exceptionally talented classical pianist and a close friend of mine accompanied me during this event - I was so thankful for her support during this event ❤️

YAY I am in the News Today
I spoke with FREE MALAYSA TODAY a few days ago. I was a bit nervous speaking with the journalist but at the same time it was so exciting telling him about my passion for music and how I love writing songs and the story behind my song “The Unseen”. I also got the chance to tell him about being an ambassador for HeARTs on a Mission and their Freedom PomPom initiative and how I am so proud that I am able to lend my voice to raise awareness of the plight of underprivileged children and support for the fight against slavery, human trafficking and child labor.
