Khar Liang (Bass)

Khar Liang finds immense pleasure in being the foundation of the many groups he has sung with.

With no formal training (but plenty of gusto), he started his musical journey by joining the Stanford University Singers in 1997, singing a range of choral music. He moved on to experiment with a cappella, joining the Stanford Harmonics in 1998 and becoming their business manager a year later. With the Harmonics, he recorded the album “Insanity Laughs”, nominated for the “Best Mixed Collegiate Album” Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award (CARA) in 2000. He also toured the East and West Coasts of the U.S. with the Harmonics, performing at various campuses around the country. In his final year at college, he also stage managed and vocally directed a production of the Gershwin musical “Crazy for You”.

Upon his return to Singapore, he revisited his roots in choral music by joining the Singapore Youth Choir (SYC), with whom he has performed in various concerts and a choral festival in Spain. He has also been a featured soloist with Action Theatre. He currently sings bass with local a cappella groups Tic Tac Tone and UpBeat.

Significant projects with Tic Tac Tone include singing for the Opening Festival of the Esplanade, a full length concert in 2003 at DBS Arts Auditorium, opening for American a cappella group Ball in the House, and a masterclass with the House Jacks.
