When I came out, I started playing in one of Singapore’s top backing bands, The Ortegos, playing with top international stars at the Tiara Supper Club. It was a great learning experience over there. I was lucky to go into the music and drama company, so that gave me a chance to actually hone my skills even more by playing with the music and drama company band, singers and musicians. Of course, like every responsible male citizen, I had to go into the army at 18. You name it, I think I’ve played with all the great Chinese artists.

Although people know me as a jazz musician and I’ve got, you know, 46 albums as a jazz musician, I actually play on more than 300 pop albums starting from 1977 with such great regional artists such as Tracy Huang, Anita Sarawak, Frances Yip, Josh Lam, Sue Ray and Anita Mui. That began a really wonderful decade and a half of playing on pop records.

The musicians were very nice because they respected me for my musicianship, so after a while we didn’t feel the age difference and I got along with them really well - it was a lot of fun. Basically, I went for an audition and not only did I get the job as the pianist, but also as the bandleader for a group where my musicians were in their 30’s and 40’s. Then I went to audition to be the pianist at the Club 392 Quartet. So at the age of 16, that was my first professional gig.

You can also utilize these patches in any other MainStage 3 concert and in Logic Pro X for recording projects.What were your first professional opportunities as a musician? How did this shape your development?Īctually when I finished my O-levels, I decided I didn’t want to continue studying - to the consternation of my parents. When we realized how much this concept resonated with MainStage users we decided to take that same goal- designing presets that were miles ahead of MainStage’s stock sounds in sound quality, expressiveness, and playability- and apply it to a bundle of patches focused on electric piano sounds.

This patch library was conceptualized after seeing the overwhelmingly positive response to our previous “Anthem Pianos” releases, which focused on creating all new acoustic piano presets that were huge improvements over MainStage 3’s stock pianos. Anthem Pianos: Electric Pianos is a brand new collection of rich, diverse, and eclectic electric piano patches for MainStage 3, designed for modern worship music, using only MainStage stock plugins and FX.
