Unlike most musicians, Z-Way never knew he had any musical genes until he decided to join SMU's Samba Masala in 2005. It has been a journey of discovery ever since, with him trying out the Indian Dhols initially, before moving on to Tambourims and finally to the Surdo. On the Macacão ever since, Z-Way has been jamming on to samba music, from Samba Masala and now to Sambiesta.

Z-Way is currently pursuing his final year in SMU's School of Information Systems. When he's not jamming, he's probably working on being a geek.
