Hi, I’m elysrei
Pronounced “ee-liss-ray”
I’m a singer-songwriter and live performer from Singapore, and I’ve spent years singing at weddings, bars, private events and various stages.
Somewhere along the way, I started wondering why live music at events can feel so one-size-fits-all, even though the people, brands and occasions themselves are completely different.
That realisation shapes how I work with different events. I’d love to hear about yours.

What others have to say
“Raw meets polished nuance in her voice”
“I came across elysrei via a search for up-and-coming indie artists for our Cocktail x Lifestyle festival and immediately knew that she was a great fit for the lineup. I loved the variety in her repertoire and that raw meets polished nuance in her voice.
elysrei was so efficient throughout the communication process and she delivered such a powerful, confident and engaging performance on the day.”
“The sing-alongs and interactions really helped create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.”
“We received very positive feedback from our attendees, especially on how engaging and interactive the band was. The sing-alongs and interactions with our colleagues, including inviting some of them to sing along with the band, really helped to create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the evening. It was great to see everyone having such a good time!”
moments made personal
They marched in to a song I wrote.
The events I love most are the ones where I’m part of the story, not just the soundtrack.
Jonathan & Miyuki chose my original song “Be My Muse” for their wedding entrance. I sang it live as they walked in, alongside two live sets shaped around their celebration.
3-piece: vocals, keys & saxophone · live march-in + two sets · hotel ballroom
Live music for your own wedding
I can sing your march-in live, then carry the celebration that follows: a warm, relaxed lunch or dinner, a packed dance floor with sing-alongs, or a little of both. Together, we’ll choose the songs and lineup that feel right for the two of you.
I front every lineup. You choose the size.
Whichever you pick, it is me singing and leading the band. From intimate settings to full party energy, I’ll help you find the right fit for your event.

how it works
You’ll work directly with me.
From the first brief to the final song, you’ll speak with the person who will actually be on stage.
-
1. Tell me about your event
Share the date, venue, guests, important moments and what you want the event to feel like. You don’t need a finished setlist.
-
2. I’ll shape the music
I’ll recommend the lineup, sets and musical flow, work through requests with you and coordinate with your venue or planner where needed.
-
3. We bring it to life
I brief and lead the musicians, then respond to the room as it changes on the day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you emcee as well?
Yes, emceeing is available as an add-on. I emcee primarily in English and can accommodate limited Mandarin for selected announcements when planned in advance.
What languages do you sing in?
I sing primarily in English, but my repertoire includes songs in Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Korean, Japanese, French and Spanish. If you have a particular song in mind, send it through and I’ll confirm whether it is already in my repertoire or can be learned for your event.
Do you take song requests?
Yes of course! Please share any must-play songs in advance so the band has time to learn and rehearse anything new. A bespoke QR song request system can also be arranged for your event and your guests at no additional charge.
Do you provide a sound system?
Yes! Indicative rates include sound system for standard hotel-ballroom setup unless stated otherwise. If your venue has in-house AV or requires a different level of production, I’ll coordinate the technical requirements and quote accordingly.
How far ahead should we book, and do you travel?
As early as you can, to lock in availability. And yes, I am available internationally! I have performed in Australia, Malaysia and the United States. Travel and accommodation costs will be quoted per enquiry.
Are you able to write or arrange a song for our event?
Yes, I can and I would love to! You may indicate your request in your enquiry and we can discuss. Bespoke compositions are scoped and costed separately, and would require at least 4 months lead time to cater for revisions as required.
