Wrecking Ball (Miley Cyrus) - Fingerstyle Guitar Cover

I didn't have a wrecking ball for the video.

I think what I really dig about the song is the suspended 4th on the I chord on the chorus. If you take that as a suspension (melodically) and take the visual imagery of the suspended wrecking ball, that would be kind of a fun way to look at it.

Yup. Watch!

As an independent artist, every view and share really helps to spread my music to more people. You make a huge difference to my work. Thank you!

New Interview & Videos from Leaderonomics

Recently, I was interviewed by the awesome folks at Leaderonomics. This was a follow-up on the performance I did with Cheryl Tan at TEDxKL2013. We talked about how I started playing guitar, practicing, creativity and life as a working musician. In addition, I also performed a few songs.

Initially, it was slated to be a one song performance but since the audience members were so epic, I ended up playing more songs! 

Here are the videos. Enjoy! 

1. The interview

2. Hit Me Up [Performance]
 

3. Someday My Prince Will Come [Performance]
 
 
 4. Letter from Tahoe [Performance]
