electro.pup (Colin Poh) has lived a life that most of us would have only dreamt of. A man of many hats, he is a producer, composer, musician, multimedia designer and actor.

Music has always flowed through his veins ever since he was mesmerized by the insanely addictive tunes from Sesame Street. Born and bred in the sleepy tin mining capital of the world, Ipoh, he received his early formal music education through classical piano training at the age of 10.

Wanting to live a life immersed in music, he taught himself how to play the guitar in high school with hopes of becoming a rock-star. His efforts paid off during his college years when he was accepted as a replacement guitarist for local underground rock band - Stone Angelina, which he played with for a year before everyone went their separate ways.

Initially trying his hand at multimedia design, Colin enrolled himself at Limkokwing University and majored in Video Production, eventually working minor stints in Malaysian TV, theatre, event and advertising industries. A few years down the road, after enduring some of the most turbulent times of his life, Colin had an epiphany, deciding to finally make his musical dreams a reality, again.

Having once sampled life as a raver, discovering the addictive, emotional and somewhat spiritual qualities of Electronica music, he noticed the lack of local electronica productions and dived head-first into producing. He has never looked back since.

Forming his own forte via electro.pup, while drawing inspiration from genres varying from heavy metal to progressive trance, he’s determined to conquer and challenge the local and international music industry with his own brand of face-scrunching, head-banging, feet-shuffling, fist-pounding electro sound.

A mélange of Chinese, Indian, Dutch and English descent, Colin channels his ancestry of different cultures for inspiration. His musical influences include Mr Oizo, Tom Caspare, Toby Emerson, Max Graham, Motorcycle, Dash Berlin, Tiesto, Chicane, ATB, Yoji Biomehanika to a whole bunch of others you won't normally hear on the radio.

electro.pup produces with Propellerhead’s Reason 4 and DigiDesign ProTools 8 in his private studio.
He also loves dogs.
