FUN FACTS ABOUT ME
I love to sing! I used to perform at pubs and on my YouTube channel. Plus, I enjoy writing my own lyrics and creating original music. Who knows, maybe I’ll drop a new track one day!
I’ve practiced various martial arts and sports – Taekwondo, Boxing, Vovinam, Fencing, Badminton, and Ping Pong. I may not be a pro, but I’ve definitely had fun trying them all!
I kick off my mornings with a strong cup of coffee to get the creative juices flowing. By night, I like to relax with a cold beer to celebrate a day well spent. I enjoy it in moderation!
In 2024, I became a dad, and now my daughter is my greatest source of inspiration (and sleepless nights)!
