Mel Yap finds a unique niche in anything he wants to do. Lucky for us his niches lay in the arts, photography and music. They all carry a certain depth and complexity and yet they are palatable for most to enjoy. He has shown locally and internationally and his musicianship takes him wherever he's needed.
Besides all this, he is one of the most upstanding, inspiring and supportive people you will ever meet.
Here is a look into his daily life:
