During high school and college, I performed as a bass singer in a cappella groups. It was my job as a bass to maintain good tempo and provide a base (pun intended) layer on top of which the rest of my group could sing. Although I am no longer affiliated with any musical groups, I consider myself a soloist in the shower. When I am coding, I am often listening to American hip-hop and Chinese ballad playlists on Spotify and singing vicariously through them!
