How To Combine Your Passion & Profession To Love Your Work + Life as a Yangqin Musician | Anson Lim

Really happy to have Anson on this podcast - I met him all the way back in 2014 where we actually joined a music competition together where we actually won first prize together in the National Arts Council Chinese Instrumental Ensemble Category. 

Really grateful to have Anson join me on this podcast session - he is an insanely talented yangqin musician who won several music competitions in the past few years. I first met Anson all the way back in 2014 where we joined the National Arts Council Chinese Instrumental Competition in the Ensemble Category where we won the 1st prize together!! What good memories...  

I've always been fascinated by how passionate and expressive he is when it comes to music + life - and always felt like a robot when I'm talking to him because I feel relatively emotionless to him  

Anson shares more about his journey in achieving the best balance between passion and profession where he currently works at Eason Music Store, a Chinese Music Instruments shop which sells music instruments and conduct lessons for Chinese instruments - his unique role as a content creator there is to spread the gospel of Chinese instruments to the world and he is obviously passionate about it.   

We talk about music competitions, life as a musician, and hustling as a Malaysian in Singapore - I'm starting to think that many Singaporeans, including myself, take for granted the blessings we have being born in this country - the drive to hustle it out is something that I really respect for anyone trying to make it in Singapore :)
