I’m Kristian Andre Tud, a senior at the University of Santo Tomas Conservatory of Music, majoring in Music Technology. I’ve been playing the guitar for over a decade and producing music for more than five years, constantly honing my craft in both performance and sound design.

As the guitarist for The Manila Hostage Crisis, a psychedelic rock band I formed with fellow UST Conservatory students, I channel my love for rich, experimental sounds into every performance. Beyond my own band, I’ve had the opportunity to play for acts like Hev Abi and Illest Morena, allowing me to explore different musical styles and grow as a musician. These experiences have shaped my dynamic approach to both live performance and production.

Passionate about pushing creative boundaries, I’m always looking for new ways to innovate and evolve within the ever-changing landscape of music.
