I'll Go First!

[MJKlein]

Hello everyone! I'm known as MJ Klein and I've been living in Taiwan since 2004. I have an 8 year old daughter named Phoenix and I've been married to her mother since 2007. My wife and I run a manufacturing consortium called Asian Castings Consortium https://asiancastings.com/ and we do contract manufacturing for our customers (mostly) in the US. I've been a manufacturing engineering consultant since the late 80s. I am also a broadcast engineer and hold both the GROL and Amateur Extra class licenses from the USA. I am also a recording engineer and producer and have done hundreds of mixes on 24 track analog in Boston.

I'm an avid live streamer and I enjoy technical and devotional studies in my free time. I am reasonably fluent in spoken Chinese and I can handle most day-to-day activities in written Chinese. I've traveled to quite a number of Asian countries and I can also speak some Thai as a result - the important things like food, drink, restroom, lol.

I have been very slowly recording tunes for a new album. My last release was in 1997. In 1995 I got blacklisted by the major labels and my single was not allowed to chart. I paid record promoters directly and had the gall to try and compete with the major labels as an independent. Now, all those labels are gone. I turned down a record deal from CBS in 1980 because it just wasn't right. These days we can release our own music on our own labels and keep our publishing too. I wish I was 22 again now....

I've uploaded a photo of Phoenix and I during a live stream from my studio on the top floor of our home.

I look forward to getting to know all of you. Thank you for supporting this forum.
