  Freelance Singer & Emcee

  Rocking the mic for over two decades, my side career as a singer and emcee kicked off right after high school. From belting tunes to owning the stage, I displayed a knack for entertaining audiences and keeping the party vibes alive. Whether hitting high notes or hosting events, I've got the rhythm in my bones. Currently on a singing sabbatical abroad for studies, but watch out – this performer is on pause, not stop. The encore awaits upon my return to home soil!
