In 2018, she wrote her first song and submitted to a competition which ended up being produced in an online album. This sparked an unchanging interest in songwriting for her. She was also a finalist in NTU Centerstage that year. Upon graduation in 2019, A L L Y flew to Boston to attend Berklee’s songwriting workshop and to Sweden for an international songwriting camp. After returning to Singapore, she decided to release her own music. 2020 marked 3 releases. 2021 she released 《如果你爱我》, written, composed and produced by herself.

Taking inspirations from Zac Farro of Paramore, Anika Nilles and JD Beck in honing her craft, she has since been performing for events like the 30th Opening Anniversary IE of Singapore and SP’s DMAT Graduation show. Not only did she emerge as the top few places in the 2013 Drum Tao competition, but her talent also earned her the gold award in the prestigious 11th China-ASEAN Arts Festival & Asian Arts Festival.

After 3 years in Singapore Polytechnic’s Diploma in Music and Audio Technology, I discovered a strong passion for songwriting and events. Finding inspiration from movies, poetry and daily life, songwriting became an essential form of self-expression for me. I am very lucky to have been able to be a part of many events before and during the pandemic, which has helped grow my interest in it exponentially. I joined this programme to find out more about the different aspects of the industry that I have not been exposed to and hopefully figure out an area that I could be a part of in the future.
