There Be Wolves lead singer and guitarist Jason Lee and bassist Jonathan Kang left high-flying jobs to pursue their passion in music.
He is the songwriter, lead vocalist and guitarist of There Be Wolves, a band he co-founded in 2017. Their presence waned as his two co-founders left and the Covid-19 pandemic took its toll with Singapore’s nightlife shutdown. Before his nine-year stint in the banking sector, he was in advertising for several years. In his 20s, around the time when he was studying media and journalism at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia, he worked as a musician for a while.
“I constantly tell my children that I’m not going to be around forever. At some point, I realised that my own regrets on my deathbed would not be about not getting that promotion. I would regret that the songs I had written would die on paper,” says Mr Lee, who is married to a housewife.Unlike some others who quit the world of high finance because of burnout, Mr Lee insists his move had less to do with push factors, and more to do with the pull of music.
He says: “Not doing it for a living is liberating. You’re not beholden to the market, your employer or a venue or concert promoter.”Afterlife of finance bros: A mixed blessing to be pushed out of tech and finance industries
