The showcase features Taiwanese-Canadian Golden Melody Award nominee Anie Fann 范安婷, urban songbird and DJ Khally, trauma-informed singer-songwriter Odelia Rei, and up-and-coming singer/storyteller Ishbel Warifa—a “dream lineup” for fluffle founder Jocelle Koh,who also runs the media platform Asian Pop Weekly.

“This forage into the live space has been unexpected for me, and I am grateful to Krysta Joy (one of Saylah’s founders) for trusting us to put this together! Putting together this lineup has been a dream come true for me—to be able to see artists that I am truly HUGE fans of share their stories together and to uplift women’s voices at the same time—I’m one lucky girl!” The show promises to be an intimate session where the four singer-songwriters showcase their different but complementary sounds through stripped-down arrangements. For Anie Fann in particular, the showcase marks her return to the stage after a 3-year hiatus. She shares a gist of what to expect for her intimate set: “A musical contemplation about love, life, and whether or not you have to listen to your parents.”


For Saylah Studios founder Krysta Joy, who also cuts a striking figure on the Singaporean music scene for her multiple roles as studio owner, producer, singer-songwriter, and DJ, the ‘stay fluffy!’ sessions were a no-brainer for her.

“I feel privileged to host this and to create space for their stories to be heard! There are many things women face in this industry that aren’t spoken about enough, and I hope to create the safety for these ladies to unapologetically be their authentic selves as they do what they do best.”

The showcase proves to be an important step towards fluffle’s aim to diversify the Asian music scene and shed light on the gender inequity that has become common at local gigs and events.

In a thinkpiece titled “Sex in the (Lion) City: A Snapshot of Women in Music in Singapore” by Asian Pop Weekly, an analysis of Baybeats’ representation of local female acts showed ratios consistently under 40% in the last five years for Singapore’s largest alternative music festival. Fluffle founder Koh explains how the showcase contributes to changing such dynamics: “Female representation onstage is a big part of the women in music movement—as a male-dominated industry, the lack of women in positions other than vocalists can become problematic and discourage other women from entering the industry. Community and addressing areas of improvement together is so important in creating change, and this intimate showcase is a perfect first step for us to start having these conversations.”

The event will also feature exclusive fluffle merchandise and limited physical copies of Asian Pop Weekly’s 15th-anniversary zine.
