August is a prolific and multifaceted composer, arranger, music editor, soundscape designer and keyboardist. He has done work for films, animated series, theaters and theme parks.

His commissioned projects, although commercially-geared, contain unique and interesting artistic choices and flavors without alienating the general audience. Over time, he has developed the ability to translate creative descriptions into musical realizations, giving collaborators and clients what they had asked for, while pleasantly surprising them with his personal reading of the given brief.

Constantly learning and evolving, his creativity and technical capabilities have grown. These qualities – as well as his ability to understand the requirements of a project, for adapting rapidly in the face of changing situations, for delivering what is required with speed – have won over producers, directors and even other composers and arrangers whom he has worked for.

Classically-trained at Yamaha Music School, he started out as a traditional pencil-and-paper composer, eventually embracing music technology, although he is equally adept scoring for live ensembles. In the process of writing for theatre, animation and film, he has learn the art form of telling stories using music as a medium. He has been taught and mentored by creatives forces such as Dr Robert Casteels, Mr Michael Koh, Mr Bang Wenfu, Mr Jonathan Lim (aka Jonichiro), Mr Rit Xu and Miss Jalyn Han, just to name a few.

He is trained and knowledgeable in a few major audio-related software: Ableton Live, Sibelius, QLab, Pro Tools.

With a mobile setup, he is able to work anywhere away from a traditional studio setting. This has greatly enhanced the tryout and feedback process as clients and collaborators are able to request for and preview changes on site, thus doing away with multiple emails and waiting time.

Because Art is simply a repetitive evolution. 

Gia brings forth a fusion of classical roots, opera and film-scoring all wrapped up within the norm of the musical theater style. She believes that story-telling is not just limited to its text and just by listening to the music itself, one will be able to grasp the tone, emotions and picture the story the music paints.

Edwin Toh Music embodies its namesake's pursuits in music performance, production, and education.

An active freelance musician based in Singapore, Edwin Toh brings to the table a decade's worth of education and experience in the music industry. Edwin graduated with top honors from Berklee College of Music (USA), clinching his divisional Award for 'Creativity in Scoring for Advertising' twice while on a Dean's Award scholarship. Back home, he topped the pioneer batch of the Diploma in Music & Audio Technology (Singapore Polytechnic), achieving the Media Development Authority Gold Medal and DBS Bank Award.

An avid performer, Edwin plays at weddings, corporate functions and community events throughout the year. He has accompanied or opened for singers such as Amirah Ali, Ila Damiaa, Joe Flizzow, Bevlyn Khoo, AJ Rafael, and SonaOne — touching crowds with his honest, sensitive delivery of music. Taking on complementary roles as keyboardist/rehearsal pianist/baritone section leader, Edwin was involved in musicals such as Berklee Musical Theater Club's 'Hairspray' (2012) , KLPAC's 'Paper Crane' (2012), Young NTUC's 'A Labour of Love' (2007), and Singapore Polytechnic's 'Superstar: The Pop Musical' (2006). He has appeared in music festivals like Indonesia's Ambon Jazz Plus Festival (2011) and Singapore Street Festival (2009), among others.

While maintaining versatility across the board, music production remains the key focus amid Edwin's holistic freelance pursuits. He was recently involved in the post-production for MediaCorp Radio/SunnyHills' Chinese New Year 2015 song, '收听快乐'; as well as Starhub's local drama, 'Jump Class' (跳班). As a writer, Edwin co-arranged the song 'Kalau Aku Kaya' for Anugerah Juara Lagu (2014), one of Malaysia's most prestigious annual song competitions. His foray into scoring for visuals garnered finalist recognition in Taylor's Short Film Contest (2012), earning praise from the panel of judges including Singaporean director Jack Neo. Edwin worked on the sound design for 'An Inspector Calls', a drama production staged in support of the President's Challenge (2008); and was a finalist in the NTU Music Express 14 National Songwriting Competition that same year. His role as Music Producer/Arranger helped his team clinch the championship in the National Inter-School Artiste & Repertoire Challenge 2007. Meanwhile, he represented Singapore Polytechnic as an Audio Lead in the Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab research initiative.

In his view, being a successful musician is more about one's capacity to inspire lives than fame or fortune. Privileged to have undergone a thorough music education himself, imparting knowledge and skills through teaching is one of the ways Edwin gives back to community. While at Boston, he volunteered with the Berklee City Music Mentoring Program, and was a Student Ambassador with the school's Admissions office, continuing in his present role as Alumni Representative. In Singapore, he teaches in private and at government/music schools alike — providing music consultation, private instruction, and group classes/workshops. Developing the passion for music and holistic understanding are priorities in his pedagogical approach.

Edwin continues to freelance on a full-time basis, and is excited for upcoming gigs and projects in the year ahead.
