I left a job in Singapore and headed to LA to pursue music.
I left the rat race in Singapore and flew to LA to pursue my music degree.
Degree covers producing/composing/arranging, in depth music theory, instrumental performance, compulsory voice and piano proficiency lessons, music business ( Copyright laws,record labels/publishers, marketing,talent management, talent scouting, reviewing gigs/bands ), conducting, music history, music cultures, music technology (i.e. Logic Pro, Pro tools etc)...and many more. My professors have worked with many artistes like Sarah McLaughlin, GooGoo Dolls, etc, and many movie film composers like Marco Beltrami ( Soundtrack for Hellboy,I.Robot etc ).
Just performed at Disneyland, met and made friends with Jars of Clay, have schoolmates who have performed ( or are currently performing ) with Gwen Stefani, REM, Chilli Peppers, Elton John, White Zombie..etc.
and on a lighter note, i have a friend in school that's one of the cast on DodgeBall, heh heh. Speaking role, not extra.
You'll never find these experiences in Singapore.
