Biography

xena giam is a Singaporean singer-songwriter whose soulful blend of R&B, indie and groove-driven sounds has made her a rising voice in the local music scene. Known for her warm vocals and emotionally honest lyrics, Xena creates what she describes as “happy-sad” music—songs that balance vulnerability with groove, heartfelt storytelling with rhythmic ease. Her musical journey began humbly, when she started singing covers during her polytechnic years after joining an acoustic club. What started as casual performing became a deeply personal creative outlet when she began writing original songs in 2019.

The Great Spy Experiment

Artists

Biography

The Great Spy Experiment creates music that is the best of indie, rock and dance put together. As much guitar-led as it is beat-driven—with indie riffs juxtaposing irresistible pop hooks and melodies that tug the heartstrings—their music is created with the dancefloor in mind and the bedroom at heart. Widely regarded as one of the leading lights of the Singaporean independent music scene, the band has featured in various internationally renowned events. They have performed at events such as Baybeats, One Movement, Singfest, ZoukOut, MIDEM and South-by-Southwest festivals and brought their music to audiences as far and wide as London, New York, Perth, Cannes and Taipei. Their first album, Flower Show Riots, released in September 2007, garnered rave reviews and widespread acclaim both in Singapore and abroad. February 2013 saw the release of their sophomore album, Litmus, yet another milestone in their quest to change the face of Singaporean independent music. That album created history by becoming the first Singaporean release to top the local iTunes album charts.
