6 local music acts – Singapore bands and singers to listen to

19th September 2022 by Expat Living 2 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/singapore-local-music-singers-bands/

Looking for new songs to add to your playlist? The local music scene has seen its share of growth over the years, with a handful of promising acts making waves in Singapore and around the region. From dance-worthy beats to soulful tunes, here are our current favourite Singaporean bands and singers to check out.

Vivien Yap local singer songwriter musician singapore
Vivien Yap

Vivien Yap

Fans of indie pop: this is one up-and-coming artiste to bookmark. Our current earworm Part II is local singer-songwriter Vivien Yap’s first single off her debut EP “Fables”. A chirpy, upbeat tune with prominent harmonies and a super catchy chorus, the song speaks (ironically) of the anguish from the aftermath of a failed relationship. Oh, and did we mention? If you’re into local poetry, check out the talented singer’s self-published autobiographical collection of poems, Can You Hear Me Now.

Astronauts

Inspired by the likes of Jamiroquai, Bruno Mars and D’Angelo, this R&B and funk band is most known for its pumped-up live performances. We loved their debut single, Get Close, a groovy track that’ll make you get off your feet and, well, dance. Throw in a dose of bad-boy charm and you get I’m No Good, the band’s second single. Keep your eyes peeled on their social channels – we’ve heard through the grapevine that a full album is in the works!

Disco Hue

This four-piece electronic-pop band – consisting of Sherlyn on vocals, Zie on synths, Billy on drums and Rush on guitar – was formed in 2011. Having launched a chart-topping EP titled Arcade, Disco Hue’s dancey originals are a fab mash of retro-inspired beats and infectious synth licks. Our favourite earworm? Gotta Find You, the band’s first single!

SHAK

Best known for his rich, soulful vocals, homegrown singer-songwriter Shak’thiya – who goes by the stage name Shak – first got into music by writing poetry. His musical influences include folk, blues, soul and indie, and you’ll find him performing around the island – either solo with a guitar in hand or with his band, The Baits. Check out his full EP Sitting at Home here!

joie tan singapore music singer
Local singer Joie Tan

Joie Tan

Local songbird Joie Tan’s self-titled, 10-track album speaks of love and its challenges. The album features a fresh mix of genres and styles like smooth jazz and pop, with a touch of old-school alternative, which – when paired with her sweet, soothing voice – makes it easy for anyone to enjoy right away. Have a listen to Right Here Right Now, a piano-centric, heartfelt tune with raw lyrics.

dru chen music singapore singer
Dru Chen

Dru Chen

Rising Singaporean funk and soul artist Dru Chen is back with another single, Givin’ It Up. This electropop track features influences of 00’s pool-party electrofunk and 90s nu-disco. Off the back of his last release, Dru’s smooth, soul vocals and infectious tunes will get you up and grooving on the dance floor.
