Am DOPED that my music will be featured on inflight entertainment for in-bound flights into Singapore! Catch songs like State of my mind, tell me why, misunderstood:
Jul – Air China (radio show “Hit It”) & Singapore Airlines (radio show “New Asia”)
Aug – Bangkok Airways (radio show “Pop Frequency”) & Singapore Airlines
Sep – Singapore Airlines
Sounds corny but let me ‘accompany’ you on your looong flights hehe…this is the closest I’ve been to my music ‘travelling’ around the world and I’m GRATEFUL! =)
love,
Jon
ps-thank you all of you who came down to Starbucks’ event at Bugis yesterday and making it a success!
Hey guys, I will be performing at the launch of Starbucks’ newly renovated store at Bugis Junction (open area near fountain) this Saturday, 3rd Jul, @ 2:45 PM. Will be accompanied by Chow Kiat on cajon and Howie on bass. So if you’ve missed any of our recent gigs at Starbucks, do come join us and other artistes like Dawn Ho, Ling Kai and Nick Tan!
Hope you guys will enjoy the World Cup as much as I will!! And those in Asia- happy panda eyes and “many cat naps to overcome 3-5 am nights”. I’ll be back with more exciting news soon! =)
Always honoured to be able to perform at the Originals Only Open Mic (OOOM) at the Singapore Arts’ Museum (SAM). I remember the original OOOM at the Singapore Arts Cafe (formerly at the Esplanade) being the first truly unique platform for my original music (and for so many others as well!)- an encouraging and non-judgmental environment for expression.
So hope to see you guys @7 PMĀ this Friday 21st May @ SAM and keep supporting Singapore-made music and the OOOM movement!
Our take on JM’s classic for Chow Kiat’s recital, was great fun jamming with such awesome guys including guest percussionist Riduan Zalani. Thanks CK! you rawkk

This Wednesday, I’ll be joining Chow Kiat (http://www.eck.sg) as guest artiste for his recital to mark the end of his music college days (at least for now =P). It’ll be an open to all, free and most of all HAPPENING gig with other guest performers i.e., the Urban Drum Crew (http://www.myspace.com/urbandrumcrew) and star percussionist Riduan Zalani. So groove your way on to:
Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 7:45pm – 8:30pm
LASALLE College of the Arts
(Flexible Space @ 1st Floor Block F)
1 McNally Street, Singapore
Check out pics and vids from Starbucks, Food for Thought Cafe and St Luke’s Hospital Charity gig @ the gallery and video sections, and Jon’s feature on the NUS Engineering Faculty Annual Report @ the Music Newsroom section
It has been an unforgettable experience meeting and talking to all kinds of people; knowing that people are so supportive of your music goes a long way indeed! And of course..good music and coffee are a match made in heaven!
“State of my mind” will be available at Starbucks stores in Singapore until the end of April. So do grab a copy at your nearest store!
Elo all! do come and join me at Starbucks ION Orchard this weekend: Sat 27th Mar, 4 PM
Tonight, it was great having a bunch of familiar faces as well as Ruth and Cheyenne joining us! had loads of fun!
We’ll be taking a break next weekend (Easter weekend) and then it’ll be one last weekend at Liat Towers!
Gigging at Starbucks ala busking has been a truly humbling and awesome experience; to see strangers responding positively to my music has been a privilege. So I hope to see YOU at one of these last few gigs! =)
