Narysal Nurdanel is an aspiring musician, singer and performer who is known for his soulful vocals and charisma. He is no stranger to the stage and has been singing, dancing and acting since he was four years old. He grew up heavily influenced by R&B singers such as Brian McKnight, Stevie Wonder and Luther Vandross, and has performed at several major concert venues such as the Marina Bay Floating Platform, Singapore Sports Hub, Esplanade Concourse and Marina Bay Sands Mastercard Theatre. Previously active in the a capella community, where he won several prizes at national and international competitions, Nurdanel is now a professional vocal coach and an active contributor to the Singapore arts scene.

Jesse Lai is a keyboardist, composer and arranger who specialises in a variety of musical genres such as pop, jazz and funk. In 2016, he made the decision to drop out of university to focus on his music. Since then, he has since collaborated extensively with a wide variety of both local and international artists, who seek out his assorted talents on a regular basis. While he is not performing or writing, Lai gives keyboard lessons and is a student at LASALLE College of the Arts. He hopes to find the time to release his own album in the future.
