The track that ran alongside the engineering — and where the engineering came from.
Producer and songwriter for CHEETAH, Ravi of VIXX, T-ARA, EXID and Vasco. The tools got built because a set needed them. Scroll to travel; the years line up with the career timeline exactly.

SOUNDCLOUD
Uploads from a bedroom in Kuala Lumpur
Seoul, South Korea
An accounting graduate posting beats to SoundCloud at night while writing audio tools by day. Korean producers find the account, start working with him online, and eventually ask him to come to Seoul.

Seoul, South Korea
A cameo in the Korean film Jazzy Misfits: answering the door at dawn and scolding a lost ajumma in Malay before switching to Manglish. It sits quietly for three years.

REMOTE
Producing across a closed border
Puchong, Selangor, Malaysia
Back in Malaysia and working Seoul sessions down a wire. Stems over the network, notes at odd hours, a studio that exists only as a shared folder. The remote-collaboration habits that the rest of the industry picked up that year had been the working method for a while already.

VIRAL
The clip goes home
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
The scene surfaces in Malaysia and travels fast. Malay Mail, The Rakyat Post and World of Buzz all run it. A Malaysian producer working in Seoul becomes, briefly, a national in-joke.

CONVERGENCE
The two tracks stop being separate
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Fifteen years after the first uploads, the split stops making sense. The instinct that came from building instruments for a live set — that latency is a feeling, that the audience decides in under a second — turns out to be the same instinct the day job runs on. Media pipelines, air dates, transmission slots. Different room, same clock.

MS-AI
Still producing
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur. A Master’s in Artificial Intelligence in progress. Still writing music, still shipping systems, still treating the two as the same discipline wearing different clothes.
