I believe that everyone possesses remarkable capacity and value, and when we empower individuals to impact the community, together we are greater than the sum of our parts. From a young age, I lived out his conviction that enterprises are potent engines for positive impact and change. Driven to create a platform for young musicians and develop our local culinary talents, I co-founded live music restaurant Timbre when he was 21 years of age, and grew the homegrown brand into a familiar name. I continue to pursue positive impact through entrepreneurship, with my focus currently on green economy solutions. Since I took office in 2020, I have been representing the views of Singapore businesses, particularly local Small-Medium-Enterprises (SMEs), drawing on my regular chats with SME owners. In Bukit Panjang, I have brought the community together to create common good. At the heart of the pandemic, we worked hand in hand with residents to kickstart a town-wide network for home bakers and cooks called Bukit Panjang Sedap! The group has grown to over 11,000 members, empowering residents to generate additional income for their families and creating more opportunities for neighbourliness and friendships to thrive around the town.Also, I believe in the strong emphasis on securing a sustainable future. As the Action for Green Towns Sustainability Champion for Holland-Bukit Panjang Town Council, we have worked with residents, partners and the Town Council to build more green spaces that involve the community, as well as adopt more practices that contribute to reducing waste and energy use.

I co-founded the Timbre Group with the social mission of developing the Singapore music scene through the talent cultivation of local musicians, and growing sustainable audiences for them. Today, the group has evolved into a holistic music lifestyle company with a diversified yet synergistic portfolio of businesses ranging from food and beverage, concert and festivals promotion and music education. With the opening of Timbre+ in 2016, and Yishun Park Hawker Centre in 2017, I currently head a portfolio of four live music restaurant-bars and dining concepts, two socially driven F&B concepts an artist management agency and a music academy.
