Many things can limit our artistic soul to expand our craft and career, such as location and money, but the main factor that blocks us is our personal opinion of ourselves and how much we believe, or not, in our talents. It is in our will to see past obstacles and do what it takes to seize the moment and make something brilliant with our gifts. Creative Soul, Jared Chan, is proof that no matter the limits set before us, we can achieve our heart’s desires and create a whole world of opportunities where our dreams can come true, one step at a time.
Jared is a singer-songwriter, bass player, and music producer from Singapore. He was born into a home of musicians, taking inspiration from his parents and his older brother who brightened his horizon as an artist, leading him to study drums, bass, and guitar.
To further his education, Jared studied Business Administration, Music Production, and Sound Engineering, where he met his friends, now business partners, and founders of GRYD.
GRYD is a Music & Sound Design Studio that offers an array of services including music production, recording music campaigns for film and TV, sound designs, sound effects, voice recordings, and ADR for film, TV, commercials, and games. They are also a Music Publisher to sync songs on TV and film, pitching on behalf of musicians for possible placements and earning royalties from those breakthroughs.
“In Singapore, the music scene is not as developed as in other countries, and indie musicians don’t get a lot of opportunities,” Jared explains. He wants to give them those opportunities, opening the doors of his growing business to help musicians reach for the stars.
Jared is inspiring his community that no matter how small it is where you come from, you can make it far. He is working eagerly to accomplish his goals and set the stage to fulfill his aspirations. Jared is a giver at heart, full of wisdom and a great deal of experience, willing to share it with others and offer guidance to help us live up to our purpose.
“It is never about the destination. It’s all about the journey and not every rejection is a bad thing. It is a path to something better.” This is Jared’s heartfelt message to us all. He explains that “once you have reached the desired destination, most likely, you will embark on another journey and start again with a new goal to reach another destination,” and he is right. We seldom worry so much about reaching a finish line that we become wrecks to get there, losing sight of the present circumstances that are the seeds of our future harvest.
Jared is an admirable and bright artist, going above and beyond to reach his destination while caving a path full of meaningful opportunities for the creative souls’ community, reminding us through his talents and art, that we can experience a limitless creative life, persevering with a cheerful soul.
