Jerry has never undergone any form of musical training in the past until a chanced exposure to samba percussion music in 2005, and since then he was never the same man again. His love and passion for the music drove him to considerably improve his drumming skills within a short period in order to make up for “lost time”, as he still regrets till this day for not picking up a drumstick (or 2) earlier. He thoroughly enjoys leading the band during rehearsals and performances, as well as learning and sharing the music with fellow band mates and other sambistas.

Besides being a full-time student at SMU, Jerry also currently works part-time as a gym instructor. Though he may not look the part, he had been an active sportsman since primary school until the musical instinct took over. As he approaches graduation, he aspires to enter the banking and finance sector, but at the same time desires more free time to continue pursuing his interest in the music upon joining the workforce. He hopes to get paid like a CEO for drumming out loud! =Pp
