Addy started playing guitar at the young age of 10. Within 2 years, he did his first guitar performance in school. In 1985, he got his very first electric guitar which was the Ibanez Roadstar. His interest in playing the guitar got more serious at the age of 14, where he played at Malay weddings.
 

Addy got his first recording break at the age of 16 with a Malaysian band, teacher's Pet (Warner Music). And like all Singaporean born males, he had to join the army. Not surprisingly, he was with the army band.

Addy has been a studio guitar secessionist since 1994.

After army, he joined Cradle (EMI), a local band. They recorded an album which sold a few thousand copies. The 2 songs he wrote sang, played and produced were big hits.

Addy released his first solo album, Rahsia which mean "Secret" in Malay, in 2003 which he wrote, sang, played and produced. That album won him an award for Best New Artiste at the Annugerah Planet Musik 2004 awards.
 


Album: Rahsia

Anugerah Planet Music 2004

In 2006, he received the Compass Award for Top Local Malay Song, "Mengapa Berdusta" which means "Why Lie" in Malay, from his ablum, Rahsia.

He started playing in the club scene from 1997 with local singer, Wendi Koh.

In 1999, he joined John Molina (Krueger).

In 2001, he was offered to join the legendary local band, Jive Talking.

In 2003, he was offered to join Douglas Oliveiro and the band 9 lives.

In 2005, Jive Talking and Addy were fated to work together once again. To date, he is still playing with them.


While he grew up playing Ibanez guitars, he did try playing other brand guitars for a year but Addy found his perfect guitar in 2004, the Ibanez J Custom. Ibanez J Custom gave him so much inspiration and his guitar playing kept improving that he brought 5 of them!

In 2007, Addy had joined Swee Lee Music Company as an endorser, he endorses the Ibanez guitar. Ibanez is very famous in guitar, bass, amplifier etc. From all Addy's collection, Ibanez Prestige RGT 320Q, J Custom are his favorite guitars.

Addy's ongoing project is recording an ablum with Cradle again. This album is expexted to release early 2007. People who inspire Addy include Steve Vai, Andy Timmons and Ritchie Kotzen.
