"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.
The Diarist Sessions Open Mic #48 – 17 January 2017
Featuring:
Sulaiman Azim
A closet singer-songwriter, only starting to play in open mics in late 2015. I usually play stripped down, acoustic versions of pop and indie songs, as well as some of my original music. Behind most of the songs I've written are experiences I'd want to immortalise, getting inspiration from different artistes that I love. A huge fan of John Mayer, acoustic sets from The 1975 as well as singing in the bathroom when nobody's at home.

Teashhur Dekan
Teashhur is a Female Singer Songwriter.
Originally from Australia, she has travelled extensively, has lived in various countries, and now currently resides in Singapore.
Teashhur has played piano since childhood, and spent time in London attending vocal training, but it was only after a very traumatic period in her life that she was moved to start writing songs... "The depth of my emotional experiences started the songwriting journey. I started writing songs to say the things I couldn't verbalize. I needed to make the surreal, real. This journey has not been easy, but I would change nothing, because now I know who I am".
Her debut EP 'Dreams' was released in 2016. This EP certainly has a melancholy feel to it, and one can sense the depth of loss from the melodies, lyrics, and the emotional delivery, but there is also hope and healing, particularly in Dreams which talks about new beginnings.
