Summary
OUT NOW: Tribute to SG Music Icons: Tamagoh β 40 Years of Rhythm & Resilience π₯β¨ βPut your egos outside the door when you are practicing.β πͺπ«π In this special edition of the Tribute to SG Music Icons series, I sit down with a man whose name is synonymous with the drums in Singapore: TAMAGOH. πΈπ¬π΅ For over 40 years, Tama has been the engine room for some of the greatest musical moments in our nationβs history. From his 35-year partnership with Jeremy Monteiro to backing international stars like Sandy Lam and Sarah Brightman, his journey is a masterclass in versatility and professional longevity. πΉπ In this episode, we explore: π₯ The origin of the name "Tama" and his early "kampong" roots. π The golden era of Singaporeβs nightlife and the transition to global jazz stages. ποΈ His technical evolution and long-standing relationship with Shure gear. ποΈ His pivot to leadership as Director of the Singapore Street Festival. π² The physical and mental discipline of a musician who cycles 150km a week to stay sharp! This isn't just a talk about music; itβs a conversation about the heart, soul, and timing it takes to become a true icon. β€οΈπ₯ Watch the full conversation now! πΊπ https://youtu.be/U7o05joTsr8
