Its the time of the year again!~!~ Its Christmas time!

Whenever its the end of the year, many people look forward to the holidays that are ahead. Many also look forward to celebrating a very special and unique festive season, Christmas! I am sure to everyone, this day holds a special meaning :) There are usually parties, gatherings and various activities going on. Its a time of giving, of hope and love!

And for Echo Music, we could not just not do anything for this year's festive season. We kicked start the month and occasion with our first Christmas show at UE Square on the 5th of Dec, Friday! We had 5 singers, namely Neo, Taiwei, Meijun from our Star Program and our instructors Caleb and Simin. Simin also strutted her thing with her rhythmic guitar skills. We were very honoured to be invited to do the performance and indeed, it was a joy. It was great to fill the atmosphere with the season of love and giving :)

Owing to the organisers and the good response, we'll be back with another show this coming friday.

Venue: UE Square
Date/Day: 12th Dec, Friday
Time: 2pm-3pm

Below are some photos from our first Christmas show.

Four Mics @ SAM presents... RIZAL AND FRIENDS! :)

Four Mics @ SAM presents : Rizal & Friends!

Come join us for a night of good music with a fantastic lineup of Rizal (frontman of one of KL's hottest band Rated R , also our singer-guitarist of the night) and Mei Lian (our talented local singer with vast performing experience) on vocals; Simon (Echo's very own keyboard instructor on well, the keyboard :D ); Kai Xiang (Echo's young but skillful flute instructor), Jacob Wee (our former Echo student on percussions), together with our boys from KL - Ralph (on percussions too), Ivan (saxaphone) and Fabian (on bass).

We will be doing a feature of Rizal's music; adult contemporary rock with great hooks, touching lyrics, grandiose arrangements and of course, the occasional impactful guitar solos that he is known for.
Despite being based in KL, Rizal is actually a Singaporean musician, and on the 29 Nov, he is going to take his music to the Singapore crowd for the very first time.
