Was a big dreamer kid. Dence started writing original songs when he was 13 years old. He learned how to play basic guitar through his cousin and got his basic drum lesson in a baptist church thru self-study. He was tapped by a church mate to arrange some original compositions, by laying chords and melody on it. By that time, he has no idea doing songwriting, but from there, he started venturing composing songs and playing musical instruments. Music started rolling on his life:
Influences:
Music Scene: Currently exposing himself online. Writing songs recording it at home. Dealing with arrangers and aggregators to release his songs in all digital platform. Watch out! An indie songwriter. He's been so passionate about song making but never in his entire life had a chance to join any workshops, camps, and formal training about this. Actually, he just feeds himself on advises, observations, comparisons, and experimentation. Sometimes digesting some of his music influences' songs and creating a few hooks based from those materials which motivated him to create a song. He's so much attached with the music of Eraserheads, True Faith, Introvoys, Shamrock, Sponge Cola, and Orange and Lemons; and some foreign bands like: Jars of Clay, The Calling, Creed, Sonicflood, Smalltown Poets and Switchfoot. He was also mentored by Sir Thurane Aung Khin of New Jerusalem, a labeled Christian artist from the US. Dence's masterpieces were also written based from his emotions, environments, stories from friends, and from his spiritual journey. He's motivated again to create more music thru the encouragements of some of his friends. These individuals gave Dence a positive outlook about his music and lot of reasons to write more songs. Believing that he could produce more for the glory of his Creator.
