About MASQUE MusicArt

From the early age, I was always intrigued and facinated by classical/rock music and movies. At the age 10, I received my first guitar from my parents. To my surprise it was an acoustic guitar, so playing rock and roll with it was virtually impossible; and the looks, of course, did not match what I had in mind. So, I secretly decided to paint it metallic to make it look like electric guitar. If you are still reading this, give yourself a pad in the back and keep on reading - it gets better.

Life has been an incredible voyage. But playing music has always been part of the journey. It was during the early 80s and my college years that I recieved an invitation from a working band from San Francisco Bay Area in need of keyboard and bass players. This period openned a new dimension in my life - being professionally active in music business, earning real money and fans. I sped up learning to play keys accompanied by left-hand bass synth to fill in for bass. Among stacks of other synths, I was one of the few who used the original Roland Vocoder keys for choral effects, Taurus bass-pedal and unusual FM synth sound modules on stage.

After 4.5 years and many sold-out shows, the band decided to change its direction. Creativity was becoming scarce; it was developing into a suffocation experience. The time was right to quit the band and merge into my solo projects, which was often complimented by various instrumentalists. Played some local clubs and odd venues, which all lasted a short eon. For some reason, my performing interest subsided.

In a nut shell, I always sought to engage in a form of music which had no boundaries or label stereotypes... "I take pleasure in composing by unifying different musical elements and genres into a particular song or an album, yet make them sound pleasant and respectable"... Although I would want for the music of Maque MusicArt be more Avante-Garde with visual experience, I have to refrain myself from going overboard before the song turns into Salvador Dali painting on steroid.

This is an organic music creation; transfered into each track almost instataniously, however with conceptual premeditation.

Every new song tends to be different experience from the previous one, yet they all carry the same trademarks of memorable melodic and haunting tunes.

To make the song AUTHENTIC, voice of an 11 Year Old was used in "Little Boy Blue"....

Salute and enjoy the ride.....
