About the Artists
Sambal Snake is an independent rapper and songwriter based in sunny Singapore. A joker at heart, he aims to bring an element of levity through his music.
In April 2021, Sambal dropped his debut single, Elephant, to rave critical reviews, with many entertained by its music video, a humorous parody of 1990 gangster movies set against a powerful boom bap track.

Formed in 2019 with a mutual love for cats and rock and roll is alt-rock sextet ULTRA MEGA CAT ATTACK. With booming drums, thumping bass lines, all-out guitar riffage, fuzzy layered synths, and fiery, raunchy vocals, the band comprises percussionist Boey Yinghao (Soulfudo), keys/synth player Cassandra Tang, guitarist Daniel Chan (Efficient Public Transport), vocalist Debbi Koh (Test The Divide), guitarist Keith Sootho (Keith VVolf, The Cultures), and Keith’s cat “Puppy” (no former projects). The band’s debut album is slated for release mid-2022.
RENE is an independent artist from Singapore. Meaningful and relatable lyrics, rich vocals, and catchy guitar lines are what create her signature sound, and her music is greatly influenced by a mix of artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, McFly, and beabadoobee. Her song-writing reflects themes such as societal commentary, self-reflection, and personal relationships.
Respect, growth, and integrity are the most important values to her as an artist. Her strong determination to perfect her musical craft and better the environment around her are what inspire her to create music.
For fans of: Phoebe Bridgers, McFly, beabadoobee, Avril Lavigne, Olivia Rodrigo
