Roger Wang

I know I have been quiet lately on the blog, but it’s all with good reasons. It’s been a busy but productive few weeks for me. I am typing this entry on a flight back home right after wrapping up the recording for an album produced by Pop Pop Music, an audiophile label started by Leslie Loh. Le...

Here she is …. All strung up. Going to pick it up in a week’s time. It looks awesome … Can’t wait to have it in my hands and hear how it sounds.
