Tony Chung, Music & Web Entrepreneur

Successful Technophile Tony Chung

As an electrical engineering major, avid blogger, recording musician, and general technophile (sometimes all at once), is sleep even possible? If Tony Chung is any example, the answer is yes. Tony has accomplished what could be a decade’s worth of work for many people, and he’s only 23 years old. His love for the latest innovations led him to pursue a BS in EE, but it wasn’t enough. Tony’s creativity found its way to Geekwhat.com and Talkmatic.com, his blog and podcast, respectively, where he interacts with all sorts of people and muses on upcoming trends and life.

I’m particularly proud of the album because my company and I created the music for the album from scratch in the States. The album has since spread to China and Singap
