• a brief introductionRocking her way into our heart, Shirlyn is a singer-songwriter who came into the scene officially when she launched her debut album "Newfound Jealousy" in 2007.
Frontgirl for The UnXpected, they have been rocking the crowds away at
Wala Wala,
Balaclava and
Timbre . Listening to Shirlyn, you can't help but feel the urge to race off towards the sunset (well, that's general the feeling I get from listening to good music:), all the while her voice playing in your head.
Her first ever onstage performance was 4 Non-Blondes "What's Up" and in 2007, she won Singapore Music Awards 2007 for Best Song - Window. Let's hope this pint-size rocker will continue to rock us till our bones creak.

The people behind the blog
Henry |
www.mujiri.comA interactive designer by day and swashbuckling illustrator by night, Henry spends most of his time in front of the computer dreaming up the next design or illustration. And when he is away from the computer, he is dreaming up the different nice things his fiancee can do for him, which sadly doesn't often comes true:P.
He founded IAFS as place to showcase the many talents from Singapore and hopefully in the process, helps to bring them closer to the masses.
Labels: administration, iamfromsingapore
it started like this...
"There was a local movie with a name made up of just numerals, which was one of the better films shown this year. And halfway through the show, there was this updated piece of an old hokkien favorite that was at the same time achingly beautiful and strangely familiar.
A search on the net for the person behind this updated piece only revealed a name. And after really, really much searching ... zilch"
and this is how it began,
to create a place to showcase the many talented individuals from the little red dot and create a little slice of immortality for them.
