Quote:
Ming's status of being on the fringe of fringe culture has led to him setting up his own Rim label to release both his own CDs and work by others shunned by conventional labels. It fuelled the realisation that he was an "outsider", the tag given to artists and musicians who are untrained and unusual, as well as those with a history of mental health problems. As someone who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, has no formal training and a penchant for cross-dressing, Ming has found a label that he is comfortable with.
