Jean Tan. Combining influences from folk, alternative and acoustic music and deriving inspiration from the Psalms, Jean's songs of adoration and struggle are honest, bare expressions of her daily walk with God and through life. By the Spirit she hopes to minister to those who listen and impact those who are searching - music is from heaven after all - while broadening definitions of mainstream Christian music in her experiences with acapella, choral music, world languages and various acoustic gigs.
Laverne Ong. Having a mother who was a piano teacher and a father who has a wonderful singing voice, Laverne grew up in a musical family. She started piano at the tender age of 4 but only started composing when she was 16. Since then, she has been joining many composing competitions and some singing competitions. Early this year, she released her album-- Colours of My Life under an independent label--Soundbites, and has since then been performing regularly. She is also in a jazz band-- Radical Context, as the singer. Radical Context has performed in places like Esplanade, Timbre, national libraries and for wedding gigs.So far, she has 2 first prizes, 2 second prizes, 2 third prizes under her belt. Also, she had been a composer with Touch Publishing when she was 19 and sold 4 songs locally and internationally. Although she has a degree in life sciences, her love and passion for music led to her being the music director of a learning music centre, Music Mocha, early this year too.
