The series must have been his second major success outside the school environment. Now, he takes a break from writing and continues with his mashup artistry. Other Things During the second half of his senior year in high school, he had discovered another talent he didn't know he can do. After being able to recreate lyrics and adapting tunes of songs for performances in classes, in the last months of his fourth year, he began songwriting. The more challenging part of it, he says, was that he was songwriting without having the instrumentals first. By the end of November 2013, he was able to write his first song entitled Leaving the Pain. By the end of February 2014, he continued songwriting and was able to write his second song entitled Inside. Aside from all of these, he is a Katycat (a fan of Katy Perry), and a K-Pop lover. He is also fascinated with the life of social networking thus having his Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. |
