His music creates an open and authentic atmosphere, inviting listeners to stop and connect on a human-to-human level.

The Pudgy Busker is driven by a genuine desire to inspire others. Having discovered music as a source of solace and joy, he has worked tirelessly to hone his performance skills. Through his dedication, he is currently living a dream that many would consider unattainable. In an increasingly fast-paced and chaotic world, he encourages his listeners to hold onto their passions and not lose sight of themselves. The Pudgy Busker draws inspiration from contemporary Alt and Pop Rock giants such as Coldplay, OneRepublic and Ed Sheeran. He also gives credit to every other busker out there. Whether they’re tapped into the music market or displaying some other talent, he loves witnessing the indomitable creativity of the human spirit. The Pudgy Busker understands the path to success is often circuitous and his industry experiences have been as unique as his musical stylings. His voice has graced an Oreo commerical, and he appeared on 联合早报. He was also honored to work with the founder of LKY Music on the national song, “Home.” Highly sought after for his unique sound and one-of-a-kind energy, he has performed at a myriad of bars and cafes, including Wala Wala, Acid Bar, Starker, Horizon Bistronomy, Ikki, and Spruce. Most recently, he appeared in Scoot’s inflight magazine where he was featured as the face of Singapore’s busking scene.

Always open to possibility, he extends his services to private events such as weddings, business events, and condominium parties. The Pudgy Busker recently took the next step in his career, and released an original single called "Neverland." Now available on streaming platforms, the song references the Peter Pan story, and a neverland where we never grow up. It speaks to our need to rediscover ourselves and reconnect to our passions with a childlike spirit of inquiry. Once we know who and what we love, we are more fully capable of loving ourselves and those around us. The Pudgy Busker Simply wants to share his music with anyone and everyone...
