SHENTONISTA

“My fondest memory of 2025 was when I attended a fireworks festival by the beach in Japan in August. It has always been a dream of mine to go to one!”

“I wanted to join the dance team in secondary school, but the slots filled up quite fast, and because I was taller than my batch mates, my teacher suggested I try canoeing, so I did!”

“I’ve been a K-pop fan since SHINee’s Ring Ding Dong era, but I stopped listening after the 3rd gen. I got back into it in 2021 and now NCT Dream is one of my favourite bands!”

“We need to be kind to everyone around us because it makes such a difference. And also know that that learning itself is a journey—I myself am constantly learning.”

“My dad sparked my passion for music. He bought me my guitar, taught me some chords, and introduced me to bands like Guns N' Roses, Metallica, and Nirvana.”

“I’ve been classically trained in keys since I was 4, but over the years, I’ve realised that classical music isn’t for me, so I recently made the switch to playing pop keys.”

“One fun fact about me is that I keep goldfish! I keep them as a personal hobby, but on the side, I sell them online. Some of them I even groom and train for competitions and shows.”

“My band stereoblu is an indie-pop band, so our music is instrument-driven, with vocals acting as a layer that ties everything together, creating a mellow and cohesive sound.”

“Two artists I’ve been into lately are wisp and Love Spells. They’re both quite strong lyrically because the stuff they write isn’t too abstract or psychedelic, so it’s easy to follow.”

“I’ve learned that doing physical activities like climbing or swimming can be a great way to relax. If you make them a regular part of your routine, you’ll start to feel better.”

“The switch from being an employee to freelancing was anxiety-driven at the start. But over time, with support from friends and people around me, I built up confidence.”

“I run a barber/salon and creative space with my partner Ting. We want it to be an open space where anyone can drop by, hang out, have a coffee, and get connected."
