With his adolescent years split between the vibrant shores of Singapore and the city streets of Melbourne, Australia, Dru took part actively in both music scenes. A keen multi-instrumentalist (violin, piano, guitar, bass, drums) and music production degree student, he played sessions with members of Yeo and Kimbra's live bands, while recording and performing with Charlie Lim and The Sam Willows. Dru's commanding stage delivery and musicianship has landed him on several internationally renowned stages including appearances at Mosaic Music Festival in Singapore alongside Babyface, Joss Stone, Esperanza Spalding and Grizzly Bear. In Australia, Dru has performed and collaborated with members of The Bamboos and Saskwatch. Other festival appearances include Anglesea Music Festival, Caxton St Seafood & Wine Festival, Darebin Music Feast, and Stringybark Suburban Sustainability Festival.
