The Diarist Sessions Open Mic #42 - 17 May at The Music Parlour

"We record a bit of ourselves in every song that is written as an observation or musing of the times. The songs themselves are an entry in the musical diary of our young country." "The Diarists" are a collective formed in 2012 to curate spaces for musicians in Singapore to perform with an emphasis on creating environments suitable for musical appreciation. Featuring: Harithramen Hi! I'm Harith Rahman! I make covers on youtube and would love a chance to perform for an audience since I haven't been able to do so in forever. I sing acoustic songs mostly and it's just me and my guitar. Just simple acoustic sounds and my voice. www.youtube.com/user/HarithRamen ---------- Fyrdauz Hi, my name is Muhammad Firdaus. I love music since young and recently started composing my own songs. I have performed on stage as a dancer and an acapella singer with a group, so it'll be my first time performing solo with an acoustic guitar. Also, I am interested in knowing the singer-songwriters from Singapore so that I can learn from their experiences and of course, make new friends. www.youtube.com/firhotz www.soundcloud.com/fyrdauzmacbeth www.instagram.com/fyrdauzmacbeth ---------- Zebadiah Wee 18-year-old aspiring singer-songwriter, not the most experienced in love and life but I still write about them anyway. Full time student, part time bedroom artist. https://soundcloud.com/zobodooh/tracks ---------- Bryan Chua I am a 19-year old singer-songwriter who has been playing the guitar for 4 years and been writing songs for 2 and a half. I perform live as a one-man band with a loop pedal. My songs span a range of genres, such as acoustic or Pop. I record and produce my own tracks, and the songs I have released thus far can also be performed live in exactly the same way as the recordings. The songs I write are based on experiences that have happened to me or to my friends, with ideas and messages I want to share. All of my songs have a story or meaning behind them, and I believe that to be the most important part of music, and this influences the way I write. https://soundcloud.com/bryanchua www.youtube.com/bryanchua96 www.facebook.com/bryanchuamusic ---------- Christiane Mikaela Christiane Mikaela is a pin up girl well known for her trademark vintage hairdos and sultry pipes, and an active member of Singapore’s local music scene since 2012.
