I’m a Catholic from Singapore and I create content though the mediums of videos, podcasts, writing, and poetry. You can find me on instagram @thecatacombdiaries and my Youtube Channel.

What started this journey?
I started creating content in my early teenage years as a musician. I then somehow ventured into political commentary, perhaps my attempt at reconciling the “good Catholic boy” with my bitter teenage angst. Eventually, I came to realise that my faith was the answer to everything. 

Why do you do this?
As a cradle Catholic myself, I speak from personal experience when I say that too many Catholics are ignorant and unable to defend the faith, despite having access to a wealth of information. Even though one could never fully understand Catholicism or learn everything there is to know, I believe that once a Catholic understands the fundamental tenets of our faith, they can never look back. Hence, much of my content revolves around the Eucharist, Mary, the Papacy, the Jewish roots of Catholicism, and the fallacies of Protestant subjectivism, 

Who inspires you?
While podcasters like Matt Fradd are my personal heroes, I am most inspired by Catholics in everyday life who practice their faith fearlessly, such as Jim Caviezal, Andrea Bocelli, Mark Wahlberg, David Henrie, & Harrison Butker. They remind me that even if I were no longer a Catholic content creator, my life should always be a reflection of my faith.

What kind of content do you make?
Being born into the faith, I enjoy interviewing converts and being inspired by their unique stories.
I also produce a series “Why ‘X’ is Catholic” where I dive into the Catholic roots of things and explore how Catholicism has shaped the world.

All in all, The Catacomb Diaries is a place where I share my ongoing journey of gaining a deeper understanding of my faith, how it shapes my life, as well as starting honest, open, conversations about the internal and external challenges we face as young Catholics.
