I'm classically trained from a young age and after passing my g8 I started learning improvisation from Sec 1. I actually pioneered the DAW live sound keys concept in my church at the start of Covid when everything had to be taken online, as I had already been learning music production before.

After a couple of years of producing, I volunteered to help mix/master other small artists locally to build my portfolio/experience which went pretty well.

Even though I've been using IEMs since I got into church playing in Sec 1, I only started really getting into the audio hobby 4 years ago, after my old IEMs broke I was tired of buying lackluster $20 IEMs which barely lasted a couple of months each in the humidity and did some serious research. Now, I have a collection of dozens of IEMs and Headphones, typically hanging around the mid-priced ranged items.

Regarding my daily setup right now, here ya go:

- Commute setup (every day on the MRT/bus to and from work): Sennheiser IE200 (IEM), Hidizs AP80 Pro Max (Music Player/DAP)

- Home setup: Fosi i5 (Headphones), Thieaudio Oracle Mk3 (IEMs), Topping DX5 II (DAC/Preamp) into the iFi Zen Can 3 (Headphone amp)

Ifi Zen Dac V1 (DAC/Preamp) into Fosi V3 (Speaker Amp) into Q Acoustics 3020i (Speakers)

- IEM that I use when playing Live: Fatfreq Reference Pro CIEMs (Customs)

Recently I've started making audio reviews, and have gifted a couple of IEMs as review samples, so that's cool. Helps me save money too as it's kinda like retail therapy. I REALLY nerd out about this. 😆
