1. Takahara Suiko, Singer/Songwriter

Takahara on her first memory of getting to know music “My earliest memory of music composition was when I was 10 years old. I’d use my father’s monophonic phone back in those days and tinker on the single-note playing tones to create my own tunes”. Taken from her interview with NST (July 2017)

2. Sharina Sharin, Artist

She quotes “Art is important because it’s a reflection of our culture, a means of communication, a basis of intellectual discourse and a vehicle for change”. Taken from her interview with Cleo Magazine (March 2018)

3. Nee Wong, Visual Artist/Interior Designer

5. Bono Stellar, Art Director/Designer

Talks about how she would cope when she’s feeling down
