We can’t emphasise enough on the importance of having good music on your big day. It’s one thing to get good musicians to perform the songs you want, or songs that are suitable, it’s also key to have musicians who you know can trust to bring out the right mood for a day is meant to be romantic and filled with nothing but love.
Instead of typical wedding bands, why not take a look at our homegrown artists who play, make, and perform originals and covers that are equally as captivating?
These musicians are some of your best options for an amazing day at the altar:
1. Tasha Aleia
Her take on Najwa’s “Ain’t That A Shame” is a simple but sweet-sounding, and her R&B-flecked voice is one that goes along with many ballads and wedding tunes. While Tasha often performs with a band for bigger shows and is also lead vocalist for Reharmnation, she alone has a big voice just in case you’re a lover of songs from powerhouse vocalists, and want some of that romantic Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey on your wedding.
2. Aaleyxia Termizi
As a Friends of Sevenpie member, Aalex not only does covers but also writes her own music. A huge fan of Norah Jones herself, her influences are evident in her style of singing, carrying a jazzy but lazy sound that makes every wedding so much more relaxed yet vibrant. Her sets aren’t glitzy, but she will do your day a lot of justice with her smoky voice and selection of songs that great for a chilled-out time with your loved ones.
3. Isaac Ho
A psychology student with a husky voice, Isaac Ho is a musician that will give you a romance-filled set if that’s what you’re looking for. A fan of cats, his original song called “The Cat Song” shows his guitar-playing skills, on top of his ability to carry a tune acoustically. Fret not, he performs with a band on weddings so feel free to let him rock the stage with other instruments, he’s a man with promising talent.
4. David Soh
Don’t be fooled by his guy-next-door demeanor, David Soh has vocals that can capture hearts. A frequent performer at stages around town, his covers of John Legend, John Mayer and many more slow jams is a guaranteed head-turner. Alongside Chloe Soh, his rendition of “I Was Made For Loving You” is heartfelt and emotional, a definite choice if you want to have all the feels on the day of your holy matrimony.
5. Battle Bloom
Made up of Fariz Salleh, Melissa Toh, Dianne Lim, and Ryan Lee, Battle Bloom is an acoustic/electric band that cites Lucy Rose and Mumford & Sons as musical influences. Their newly-released single “Waiting” shows exactly what the band is known for, which is non-offensive indie tunes you just can’t help but fall in love with. They may be labeled as an acoustic band in general terms, but expect music that you can also slow dance too.
6. Fazz
Bring life and colour into your wedding’s music set list with Fazz, a band that promises high-quality, flamboyant music. The band “fuses theatrical broadway with modern-day poetry”, and currently consists of Yon Lynn, Grace C, Jone Yeoh, Jason Lime, and R.F.B. Their description may be a bit puzzling, but there’s nothing to worry about as this musical pop group is energetic enough to light up a dance floor, yet versatile enough to carry something lighter and subtle.
