Rudy is also a visual arts educator who graduated from Lasalle College of The Arts (Singapore), and his artistic experience enriches his musical expressions as a vocalist, songwriter, and lyricist.Rudy's talent has earned him recognition in both the Malay and English entertainment scenes, earning the nickname "Suara Madu" or "Voice of Honey" from Singapore Jazz Maestro & King of Swing, Jeremy Monteiro.
Inspired by legendary figures in English, Malay, and Indonesian music—including Sugiman Jahuri, Saloma, P. Ramlee, Ahmad Daud, Bing Slamet, Sam Saimun, Nat King Cole, Andy Williams, and Matt Monro—Rudy views singing as a form of melodic storytelling. He believes in the power of captivating melodies, stating, "A singer is a melodious storyteller. If the melody is dull, the entire story would be meaningless." -
