Genesis
Seto is a veteran among the Singapore Chinese Indie scene and has worked as composer, music arranger, sound designer and performer for many local and overseas gigs.
His first venture into music happened over a decade ago, when he formed a band (LGF) with some of his school friends to jam to their favourite song. Soon after, LGF had an opportunity to play a gig, and the feeling of being on stage was great and addictive. The band managed to secure more gigs thereafter, which marked the point of no return from the stage as performing and spreading the love and joy of music had become such a huge part of their lives. Eventually, Seto and his bandmates started to foray into writing their own music.
Pedagogy
As an instructor, Seto always treats his students like comrades, guiding them with demonstration, and open for discussion so as to inspire everyone to appreciate and love every aspect in making music.
“Creativity is essentially a lonely art. An even lonelier struggle. To some, a blessing. To others, a curse. It is in reality the ability to reach inside yourself and drag forth from your very soul an idea.” — Lou Dorfsman
