Renny Goh had always dreamed of becoming a musician, but her parents set a clear condition—she had to complete a degree before fully pursuing her passion. While studying at the National University of Singapore (NUS), she refused to put her musical aspirations on hold. She actively performed with her band, recorded cover songs for YouTube, and took on gigs whenever she could, balancing both academics and her artistic pursuits.

However, it was a life-altering moment within her family that gave her the clarity she needed. When her cousin had a near-death experience, Renny was confronted with the fragility of life and the urgency of chasing her dreams. This event solidified her decision to take a bold step forward. She set her sights on Los Angeles, determined to carve out a path in the music industry despite the challenges.

In this episode of A Letter to Myself, Renny shares her journey with host Joel Chua, reflecting on how she navigated an unconventional route—one that defied traditional expectations in Singapore but ultimately brought her closer to her true calling.
