Brief Summary of yourself: I'm a very emotional person. Most of the times my emotions control me. Music has been something very close to spirituality for me since young. It has always been my solace when I'm unhappy and it never fails to help me get through any situations in my life. I first started to perform when I joined Campus Superstar 2009 and got signed by an artist management which brought my performing experience further. I then ventured into fashion design and started designing clothes for other labels. Bascially, I think I am a chirpy and lively person and I hope to be able to let other people experience the healing properties of music through me. My favourite phrase,: xoxo love!!!

Brief Summary of yourself: I am currently a lead vocalist in a band called 6 degrees wipeout. We do covers of rock and alternative music and we write and play our own songs too. I was second placed in a singing competition in the Singapore Navy and have not looked back on performing since.  I have tremendous passion in writing lyrics and get the most inspiration when I am overseas away from the familiar environment. I have written several songs with the band and have other projects in the works. Drumming is a small part that I have to play in the band and if have to I have to play the tambourine as well. My school choir days have been long gone and of course my taste in music has evolved from listening to Pop music to listening to a variety of rock, alternative, ambience and different sounds as versatility as a singer is very vital in the entertainment scene. I hope to learn from the other talented contestants in this course.  Am sure this will be a fulfilling and fun course….

Brief Summary of yourself: I have myriad interests in my life, nut I'd say singing Mandarin songs is the greatest passion of my life. Having emerged as one of the top 10 contestants in Campus Superstar 2009 - season 3 and written a few songs, one of which featured in my school album production. I'd love to widen my current experience. This is why I chose to take The Artist Development Course in Hark Music so that I can increase my potential of being a successful musicians in future. Ever since young, my exposure to the piano has instilled in me a desire in exploring more instruments such as the guitar. After completing grade 8 in piano, I'd also love to learn how to play the piano by ear and pop piano. Singing calm & sad Mandarin songs is my forte as I love conveying my emotion through words, which explains my love for writing too.

Brief Summary of yourself: Singing is a source of spiritual energy and joy for me. No matter what happens in a day, as long as there is music in my heart and a song on my lips, I know everything will be fine. My wish is that everyone should find something which consistently inspires them so intensely in life. I was a late starter when it comes to singing on stage, although my mother told me, as a child, I used to sing non stop some days. They could not shut me up. I took the first terrifying step of doing my first gig 5 years' ago, while taking a break from the daily corporate routine. And thanks to the loving support from my husband, friends and musician mentors/partners, I have performed weekly gigs in beautiful & charming places such as the Esplanade, Robertson Walk, Merbau Art Gallery Bar, Peranakan Place Group, Balaclava etc. The most fulfilling side effect of this passion of mine is it has always brought people together & turned strangers into friends. I don't have any specific goals of becoming a singer of a certain mold/cut/commercial standard. The unwavering commitment I make to myself is to keep singing to a live audience, to sing with conviction and ease, and to be a competent & inspired musician.

Brief Summary of yourself: I am currently a full time student in Singapore Institute of Management. Soccer and working out in gym is my favorite pass time besides playing music. Overall I am quite an outgoing guy and enjoy the company of my friends. Although I am a beginner in playing guitar but I do compose some songs myself too which I would really like to share with people. The only obstacle is that I don’t have the proper equipments to do proper recording. Sometimes out of the blue moon a melody would just come across my head and I would use my hand phone to record it down. After that I would go home and use my guitar to play some simple chords for the melody before consulting my friend who is very good at guitar to teach me the proper way to play my song. The only competition I ever take part is the pk safra challenge which is organize by hark music last year. My friends had urged me to try it out just for experience. I was quite shock that I had gone all the way to the finals and won the "Mr Popular" and all the credits would go to my friends that has supported me throughout. I remember how nervous I am when I am on the stage. I took part in the The Real Singer because it can relinquish my wish to let people outside to listen to my songs and hopefully I can go all the way. I believe that I have a deep and powerful vocal chords which is more suitable towards rock songs although I love to sing love songs too. I would like to take up vocal lessons in future to improve my technique and that's what the judge had told before.

And it has never changed since I was young. Let's see what I can accomplish at the end of this road!
