Welcome to Joshua Ting's personal home on the web
Josh was born in Malaysia and grew up in a home filled with love and music.
He showed an early interest and gift in music by picking up simple piano playing by ear at the age of 3.
He started playing the piano from the age of 5, specialising in improvisation by listening.
At the age of 15, Josh also showed a keen interest in the drums, an instrument he had not had a chance to play or be exposed to.
Taking some early lessons, Josh showed promise by possessing a good sense of rhythm and showing a quick rate in improvement.
By this time, the piano had become Josh's first love and he was playing the piano in high school musicals, including reproductions of "Miss Saigon" and "Oklahoma".
He began playing regularly in small groups and duos, focusing on accompaniment for solo and duet vocals.
Josh joined the swing band in high school for an opportunity to develop his ability on the drums.
Although leaving home was hard to do, Josh moved to the UK to attend university, and found his feet quickly by earning the position as resident pianist at an award-winning fine dining restaurant.
He stepped his way onto the drum throne of the incredible University Big Band, gigging regularly.
Three amazing years later, Josh found himself playing in the Montreux Jazz Festival with the Big Band.
Upon graduating from university, Josh has moved his focus to drums and has plays sessions and in funk bands, Big Bands, and jazz quartets
including
Moment's Notice and resident jazz quartet for JAM, a regular jazz evening at Warwick University.
In addition to his love for playing jazz, Josh has also collaborated with up and coming artistes across the UK in private functions, sessions and
showcases, playing a variety of music styles, including latin, pop and funk.
In the near future, Josh is looking to get involved in exciting new music projects, ideas and thoughts are welcome on a postcard please!

Google seem to be taking over the world, and doing a damn good job of it! Gmail can kill Hotmail anyday, Google Earth the greatest toy creation of 2005, and Google Talk - Watch out MSN Messenger!
I can't wait for the day Google puts bloody
Microsoft in their place. Gone will be the days of Willy Gates thinking he owns every machine bit of data that travels the earth.
WATCH OUT WILLY - here comes GOOGLE.

removal
The post "
Why do I care?" has been removed.
Thanks for trying to make things right, I will try too. I hope that this being the common objective, everything can return close to before - I meant no harm. If it can't be forgotten, hopefully it can be forgiven.

ruining it for the rest of us
The US of Atrociousness..
"In Southfield, Mich., Dave Pongratz picked up a new Hummer H3 on Wednesday as a surprise gift to his wife, Sandy, an avid camper and kayaker who wants a safe vehicle with good towing capacity. Pongratz said he'd rather go to fewer restaurants than buy a vehicle with higher fuel economy that the H3, which gets about 16 miles per gallon in the city."One day when there's no more petroleum left, I wonder where questions will be shot to.
