Updated November 12, 2025, from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Courses & Teaching
I currently create guitar courses in Malay. You can check out most of it at https://kelasgitar.com/
I also teach & coach 1-on-1 in person and via Zoom video calls, those slots are limited and expensive. If you’re interested to find out more about that, contact me here with your name, what you want to learn, your location, background & goals (basically as much info to give context).
Writing
I write course, book & music reviews here on this website. I am currently gradually trying to review as many of the books and courses I already have in my library. The goal is to document good courses, books and music that are not as popular but are worth checking out.
I also write reviews of the latest guitar & music courses (and CDs) on this site & accept submissions from publisher, record labels and independent artists.
From 2024-2025 I completed a project of writing 100 poems in Malay on the theme of music & the life of a working musician. I plan to get this published. So far I’ve performed these poems for Readings at Seksan (2024) and for the Klang River Festival (2025).
Content Creation
I have a love-hate relationship with social media & the internet. Some days I love it more, some day less. Basically though, I am fascinated with SEO, content creation formats, memes, email marketing, copywriting structures, storytelling & worldbuilding — how it relates to creatives in general & musicians specifically.
My first 1-on-1 client, Malaysian jazz pianist Tay Cher Siang and I created a 12-part Instagram Reels video series was released weekly on his Instagram account every Wednesday noon. Other past projects have included #RiffingWithEzanee (a rock guitar lesson series), #GrooviBersamaRuvi (tips from professional musician Ruviyamin Ramlan) and #LuquesTechTips (from Luques Xannial).
In 2024, I also collaborated with brands & companies including Harmony Guitars, Lava Music, Enya Music, Sudio, Tyrone Guitar, LBS Music World, and the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.
I am currently a Yamaha Music Malaysia Guitar Ambassador and NUX Malaysia endorser.
I’m open to partnering with music brands, venues, event organizers and businesses that are interested in creative content creation targeted to the Malaysian music community, especially guitarists.
It’s been a year since I accepted an adjunct role at International College of Music, my alma mater here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Since early November 2024, I’ve been the new Digital Marketing Specialist for the college.
What that means is that I’m actively designing, advising, curating, creating and implementing their social media and content strategy. I initially worked with two students on my team and am currently working with a staff member to document and create content.
In addition to my role in the marketing department for the college, I was the first presenter for the “ICOM MASTER’S SERIES” – a series of monthly master classes featuring music industry professionals sharing their experiences to the students. The entire series is archived here on ICOM’s official YouTube channel.
Consulting
My 1-on-1 consulting clients have included professional musicians & music college professors from the United States. I was appointed as a member of the Industry Advisory Panel for the Institute of Music, UCSI University for four years from 2022 to 2025.
Speaking
I used to run a Clubhouse room on Wednesday nights from 9:30 PM (GMT+8, Malaysian time zone). Co-founded with Malaysian songwriter & entrepreneur, Altimet, I currently host it and am joined by a other like-minded musicians as we discuss current happenings in the music industry. It’s not as frequent as before so check out my announcements on the day via my Instagram and Twitter.
We have 1.3k members in the Malaysian Musicians on CH house. Find out more info about our future sessions here.
It’s a room for musicians to discuss, exchange ideas & network. Although we call it Malaysian Musicians on CH, anyone is welcome to hang out with us. Among the people we’ve had in past sessions include Sheila Majid, Aubrey Suwito, Ahmad Izham Omar, JD Wong, Emmett (Butterfingers), Sina Djavadkhani (Damn Dirty Apes), Joe Flizzow, SonaOne, Cody Foo, Aman Ra, members of Late Night Frequency, Jennifer Thompson, Melakaboy and Joe Lee.
This room is currently on hiatus as my live event schedule became much busier in 2025.
Performing
I will be performing for Music Co Fest: The Enya Experience on Nov 29, 2025.
Workshops, Clinics and Talks
This year I told myself I would try to conduct at least one workshop or talk per month. I have done 13 workshop/talks so far and moderated two other sessions for the ICOM MASTERS SERIES.
Nature
I enjoy taking walks and saying hi to cats everywhere.
