Choose A Fruit That Best Describes You…
I would describe myself as a dragon fruit. Why do I choose this particular fruit as a choice to describe myself because people would describe themselves as the common fruits such as apple, orange etc. For me, the dragon fruit is different from the rest. Also you would not know what lies inside the dragon fruit when you open it up, whether is it going to be white, purple or contains some small thorns. It can’t be predicted. What I am trying to say about myself is that I am different from others and full of mysterious surprises which not many could tell.
What was your journey like in Jammerz Arena?
Well my journey in Jammerz Arena was rather adventurous if I must say. I met with many new challenges along the way as a member such as playing with different musicians along the way, adapting to different genres, how to make myself a better musician and performer and more. It was tough but it was still fun having to experience this with your other members in JA.
Jammerz Arena is all work but no play? True ?
All work no play? Well the answer to that is a big NO. Where’s the fun in that? It’s true that being JA takes a lot of work but we do have time to play. Besides performing and making shows, we do take some time to get together with everyone every once in a while to bond and play games during our get together session. This is where we put aside all our work of JA. The best thing about bonding time with your fellow members is that we will see the different side of everyone which is interesting because you get to know more about your friends.
Imagine your musician skills are average, but you’re very keen to learn. Would you make it as a JA musician?
Well of course you will. If you show that you are really passionate enough to learn and show improvements in yourself, then surely it won’t be a problem that you will make it. Anything is possible in JA just that you’ll have to work hard about it.
Tell us your deepest darkest secret that people do not know about?
