Before The Words, There Was Fire

Editor-in-Chief, 22Muse Media

Not every empire begins with a headline.
Some begin with a composition, a conversation, or a chess move no one sees until it changes everything.

22Muse was born from the quiet tension between legacy and reinvention.

A digital publication rooted in Southeast Asia, we document the minds, movements, and cultural signals that shape this region’s future from orchestral concert halls to private wealth boardrooms, from independent media studios to luxury branding startups quietly rising across Dubai, Singapore, Jakarta, and beyond.

I began in the world of performance, touring, recording, and working alongside Southeast Asia’s most established orchestras and national broadcast productions. But my obsession with print came first: storytelling, editorials, notebooks filled with ideas no one had asked for, but that I knew needed a home.

Today, 22Muse is that home.
A refined media platform for those who don’t chase virality they create legacy.

Here, we tell the stories of founders, composers, strategists, and brand innovators who aren’t just building wealth, they’re building timelines that will outlive trends. They are the one shaping Southeast Asia's creative economy for the next generation.

Some write to impress.
We write to preserve.
Welcome to 22Muse.
