'Some of the achievements include taking the song Mus Come a Road to the Top 10 on the German R&B singles chart; his song Tek Weh Yuself was ranked among the Top 85 songs of 2008 by Vibe magazine, as well as extensive touring and promotion in Europe.

"I want to go full speed ahead working with artistes. I have been working with Mighty Crown for a while now, since I basically discovered them and I am also looking to taking on new challenges as far as the music is concerned," Chin explained.
