"What does it mean to be a portfolio musician?" "How can we navigate the gig economy?" "What are organizations looking for in a musician when they are hiring for a production?" These are not questions that a euphonium player can answer (I wonder why).... So I am lucky to be joined by my guest, Yao Cong who will address all these issues and how he arrived at this current stage in his career. His success did not happen overnight (or did it?!) ....

A common question that you might encounter when meeting someone for the first time is "SO.... What do you do for a living?" But for my guests today, it goes a little different. The question is "What does he NOT do?" in the realm of Singapore music scene. Yao Cong joins me on this episode of You Play A What? as he shares the insights to navigating the gig economy. He is currently living what I deemed as the "Freelancer's Dream". His diverse portfolio of work includes Performance, Education, Conducting, Management, Production and being a Highly Efficient Mobile Gamer. He has recently began his journey as a content creator, publishing weekly videos on his YouTube Channel with awesome video thumbnails and sound advice. Whilst, he is reaping the fruits of his labour now, the seeds did take its time to sprout. As he has never pursued his musical studies in Singapore, his return back home after completing his studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (London), he faced a number of challenges trying to find a foothold.

CoOp Gaming Cast John Christy and Genevieve Knapp We are John and Genevieve and we are co-op zealots. We don't want to play a game we can't play together in our living room. We started out playing split-screen games but quickly realized that split-screen is dead. We set up a second console and gamesharing, which opened our gaming world to all online multiplayer games. Despite being able to play the same game together online, co-op difficulties continued. It was hard to find group-joining instructions for certain games, and other games offered multiplayer functionality without telling you exactly what parts of the game you could play together or what benefit grouping up provided. We started our website and this podcast for other people who want to play exciting, modern Playstation games in their living rooms with their spouse, partner, roommate, or child. We can't review or offer instructions for every game, but we can share our experience and let people know what it was like playing through the entire game with a partner. Most importa
