Meet Joe Ramagfon, a professional ukelele and a guitar expert.
He has been in the music and entertainment industry since 2021 to bring smiles and happiness to guests he performs for.
He began his musical journey when he was five years old by playing the guitar from one note and progressed.
Apart from performing live music, Mr Ramagfon has also produced his very own original song with its music, and is available on his YouTube channel and his producer’s YouTube channel, WaterLand Studio Production.
