Zubin Zainal

My ideas, my sense of aesthetic and creativity are a fusion of the Eastern and Western philosophy, art and sounds.

Being born in Kuala Lumpur and growing up in Berlin, I had the privilege to experience the best of both worlds. These influences are clearly the driving force of my developments within the past years.
