Open Mic #20 (22nd Dec)

Open Mic, the longest running event at Laila's is back for the 20th time! Do expect another full house session!!!

9.00: Aaron James Leong
Aaron started playing music at the age of 12 by taking drum lessons & his passion for music grew from there. Having evolved from rock to heavy metal to blues to acoustic and then swing, but he still loves all those genres. At 13, he picked up his mom's classical guitar and tried learning by his... own, which required a lof of practice and discipline. Later at 17, he started playing bass and ukulele. Currently he involved with a couple of band; Sedsuna(vocal) & Seven Running Apes(drums) & his own solo project.

9.30: Ian Tai
Ian Tai isn't technically gifted when compared to other musicians, but that hasn't stopped him from trying to leave a good taste in your mouth. He's armed with self-written songs that were made to leave smiles on faces and set off light bulbs in heads, so you're guaranteed to have a good time either laughing with him or...at him!

10.00: Heart A-Tack
Formed in 2007, we consist of 6 individuals from the same school. Our main goal is to make music which people could relate to in any sort of situation. The excitement of making music which involves the unpredictable reactions from people around us just makes us want to do our best in what we do. For us, showmanship on stage is the most important thing & expressing ourselves on stage is everything. We play power pop & punk rock types of music, which is influenced a lot by bands like, 'Hello,is this the band?', Once Upon A Time There Was A Sausage Named Bob & We're 18

10.30: Hugo Yap
A 22 year old student, who writes songs & performs as a hobby. All of his songs are written with the intention of express himself and entertain an audience. Hugo hopes that one day he’ll become really good at doing both – expressing him self and entertaining an audience, as good as his heroes (Pete Teo, Nick Cave, Kurt Cobain, Robert Johnson, Rowland S. Howard, Jeffrey Lee Pierce etc) at least.

11.00: Jeff Azraai
Jeff is down to earth and pretty chill. Although somewhat tone deaf and vocally impaired, Jeff wants to prove that with hard work and determination anything is possible. Highly passionate about music, Jeff always seeks to improve and learn whenever he can. Jeff's musical influences include BB King, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Ulli Boegershausen and Incubus.

11.30: Narmi
Influenced mainly by John Mayer, Narmi's music is soulful and full of heart. Though he is not classically trained in guitar, his grasp for catchy melodies and his unique voice has enabled him to gain a steady following in the singer-songwriter circuit.

Acoustic rock, pop, folk & more!
