Samwise Loh
Starting with a toy Casio keyboard, and later migrating to an Electone Organ at the age of 9, the ebony and ivory keys has become a passion for Samwise Wee Khee. To empty his piggy bank and use the money to purchase his very own keyboard (much to his father’s chagrin!) was one of the first indications of where his future would lie. Walking home from school, melodies and tunes would just play to his mind, which he would later record on his keyboard. Dad finally realized that music would always be a part of Samwise and became a strong supporter. In 1996, computer became his other love, which he pursued relentlessly by getting certification as an MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) and Autodesk Certified Technical Support. His fixation for keyboards, both on a musical instrument and on the computer, was finally merged in 2001 where he embarked on a Christian Music Ministry project. He produced 3 albums before going to the School of Recording Arts of Canada, Montréal, in 2006 to pursue a course in Music Recording and Production. In the freetime in the midst of his busy coursework schedule, from his home studio, Samwise had recorded, arranged and produced 6 songs in an album for Shaun Anderson. Unafraid to experiment and a love for a varied type of music, Samwise plays, arranges and even composes music in contemporary pop with a tinge of funky tang. And now his latest craze – world music interspersed with ethnicity. Experiencing FUN while dabbling with the KEYS is one of the reasons that has led Samwise, a devoted Christian, to be involved in the music and Internet Ministry for the local churches. He has worked freelance under the company SAMWISEMUSIC, which provides corporate services such as corporate jingle composing and audio podcast making . Although it was a music industry related company, he bumped into customers that often requesting for web designing and marketing, that leads him to open SAMWISEDIGITAL to meet the needs of the local community to transform their business via social media marketing and technology.
