About me
I am a recent Durham University graduate, where I received a bachelor’s degree in Music. I have previous experience in retail, digital, and administrative work. I am bi-lingual in English and Portuguese, having been born and grew up in Macau, China. I also have experience in performing as a Bass guitarist or double Bassist in various areas, be it Neo-Soul, Funk, Jazz, or Classical music. It also happens to be my passion, and would love to add my creative skills onto any project! I have also developed a hobby in writing my own music, which requires its own skills, including rudimental production skills.

    Various Gigs and Concerts at Uni As well as playing in the Big Band Project, The Durham University Palatinate Orchestra, and singing in the St. Hild and Bede Chapel Choir, I was involved in setting up a student band in Durham called the Funkhaus Collective. Our own arranged covers of songs were performed in numerous venues in and around Durham. Rehearsals, marketing and promotion were all carried out by ourselves. Some of our most memorable gigs were: Outstanding Art (Durham) on 13 March 2020, and in a venue called the Holy Grale (pub) on 27 February 2020
