Q: What’s your background?

A: I picked up and threw away piano many times. When I was young, I was forced to learn piano but stopped quickly because I didn’t like it. I picked it up again in Elementary school but stopped during high school due to my studies. In my senior high school years, I self-taught some musical softwares as a hobby and wanted to continue even after graduation.

Q: What’s your favourite art work?

A: I love a composer named Revo, the type of songs he composes are mostly within a pop-like structure but consists of musical performances. Within the songs, he tells stories which can be found within larger story of the album. His writing style is very complex and hard to absorb at first, but the more you listen the more you can find.

Q: What is your dream project?

A: Currently, I am working on project influenced by my favourite artist. I want to build big world setting with characters and plots from scratch, and also write songs that tell stories that build up to a full album.
