Born and raised in Perth, Australia born into a family that immigrated here in the late 80s to find a better life from Singapore. Being a Eurasian in Australia and growing up with a typical traditional upbringing and perspective that was fed to me that was school, university then great job, the house, cars etc. to instead choosing a creative lifestyle of dance, art, shows, events and self expression. I quickly learnt that there was more to life than just the usual path most people find themselves on. Growing into an adult with these old stories and expectations I found myself using drugs to escape from the reality that I played a part in that lead to a lot of self neglect and lack. A lack of love, compassion and gratitude for life. 

I didn't have the role models that I desired so I looked outside of my circle to artists and entertainers. Feeding my emptiness with others approval or lack thereof I found myself lost and abandoning my truth in the fear that others were going to judge me, more than that, that I wouldn't get their love or approval. I realised in the end I was doing it all because I didn't actually love myself and felt that performing was the only way I could get love. This burnt me out and when I found out that it wasn't working I then chose to turn within and give all of that love to myself. This is an ongoing practice for me and one that I will continue to deepen so that I get to live from a place of wholeness and love only.

Every since being an artist it has been my mission to share myself with the world, my truest purist self and believe that every human deserves to live and feel all the love in the world! Love is the beginning and the end of all that is, therefore, through love we work, live and expand.

Peace and Muchlove,

Ian
