LIVE! Crazy YET!

I am sure our students will notice there is an album single laying on the Echo's desk for sale. The one with a cute boy's face.....ring a bell?

Yeh..this is the one....

Some students actually commented 'he is just a small boy...and he is releasing an album..' !! Hahaha..i got these comments from more than one person....you know who you are. But NO...Mr Yet is already a 'full-grown' man in his thirties... that album single is just that start of his dream. He has already released a 10 song album and it will be on sale in Sembawang Music and CD RAMA.

The dream of Yet is not quite a fairytale. It is alot more than that.

This is a D.I.Y album...needless to say...it cost a bomb from his own pocket...more than what you and I may have in our bank account. What makes Yet want to do it so much...after such a long time?

He is indeed crazy ya....about his music.

Some excerpts from Yet:

"Life is Crazy, no doubt. But I could only call Life crazy if/when I begin to understand and appreciate that while I am trying my best to deal with every little simple aspect in/of Life, I am actually only starting to learn forever.

I learn Music; Music enables me to learn more of myself, of people, of the universe, of the altitude and the attitude. Music is Crazy;

I am Crazy about Music."

Yet is a life example of a man living his dreams. I remembered him telling me he would release his own album if he can't make it through the labels before thirty. I also remembered myself doubting if his dream will come true.

But....dreams really do come true.

It don't come from nothing...it's not just the monetary terms ...but also 'perseverance and contentiousness' as quoted from Yet.

Its tough...but its a sweet battle isn't it....?

Yet will be performing LIVE at Singapore Art Museum on the 25 October 2008 at 7pm. Let his passion and music reach out to you. Be a part of his dream by showing your face!
