Daniel is quite the fitness enthusiast too – although that takes no guessing judging from his lean sculpted body. When Daniel’s not at the gym, he strums on his guitar or plays the occasional video game to chill out.

 

Kuala Lumpur is just a hop, skip, and jump away, and Daniel says he’ll definitely drop by our little red dot sometime during a long weekend. Who knows, we might even see him promoting his work here soon!

How did your fitness journey start, and what is your workout regime like?

I started hitting the gym when I was 13 together with my dad. My dad, at that time, was like those middle-aged men you see on Instagram these days with rock hard 6 packs. He’s my inspiration in many aspects, and fitness is just one of them. Back then, I was a short and fat kid and girls wouldn’t even look at me twice. I must say, I’m really proud of my physique transformation. Puberty did play an important part too!
