Co-founder
Dawn Wong
For Singaporean vocalist Dawn Wong, music is a vessel for exploration – one she has captained from pop to jazz, and now on to her latest adventure in Hakka (dialect) music.
The Jazz Association (Singapore) scholar and mother-of-2 writes, produces, and performs ‘Jazz for Kids’ and other educational programmes to take young audiences on this journey too, with the hope of colouring their musical palettes and opening their eyes to the world around us.
​
Dawn has performed at the Kuching Waterfront International Jazz Festival, Thailand International Jazz Festival, the Singapore International Jazz Festival, and more. She fronts contemporary Mandarin jazz band Akehao, the 1930s-style Shanghai Jazz Club and is a member of the Char Yong (Dabu) Association Hakka Singing Group.
Dawn topped her class at LASALLE College of the Arts (Singapore) and has taught as an adjunct tutor at her alma mater.
