Gerald Wu

Gerald's interest in drums and percussion started at a young age.
However, his talents began to develop seriously when he joined the Anglo Chinese School (Independent) Concert Band in 1998, at the age of 13. Gerald's aptitude and ability for percussion saw himself promoted to the Main Concert Band, after spending just 6 months in the Recruit Band. He was also part of the band that competed in the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) central judging competition in 1999 and 2001, which clinched a gold and a silver award respectively.

After graduating from Anglo Chinese School (Independent), Gerald went on to Raffles Junior College where he also joined the symphonic band. In 2003, he was part of the Raffles Junior College band that participated in the SYF central judging competition where they clinched the gold award and subsequently the title of “Top Band” award, out of all the other Junior Colleges bands.

Gerald currently spread my enthusiasm for drumming by tutoring various groups and schools in percussion and also serve in my church's music team.

Edison (aka Nono) first started drumming when he was a THIN baby inside his mother's womb. He drummed his way out and only till secondary school where he discovered his rhythmic talent.

“En la Universidad” days, Ed met up with a group of music enthusiast Buenos amigos & joined SMU’s Symphonic Band. Joined almost every musical festival that SMU had and later, started SMU’s Samba Masala with world-class musical players. Became the first president of Samba Masala and led the club to achieve the first TOP CCA award in SMU.
