Ep7: Sheena - we mean, Ginette - was a punk rocker

As the bassist of Psycho Sonique, one of Singapore's first all-girl punk bands in the 1990s, Ginette Chittick made young hormonal teens drool as they played their spitfire songs on stages in Singapore and Malaysia.

They recorded several songs - along with an EP, We Can Do It - that showcased a "just do it" attitude better than any shoe with a swoosh. She later joined Astreal, a band whose ethereal music is a far cry from the frenzied sounds of Psycho Sonique.

The punk ethos and can-do attitude helped Ginette learn to play bass in the band (she uses a unique notation system that you won't find in any music book); and since then, she has done everything and anything, from starting her own fashion label to publishing a zine; to becoming an educator, being a DJ and working with textile art.

Is there nothing she won't do? Well...
