Hi! We play, make, and love music.. We hope you enjoy our music! 
We are Petrina Phua, Shirleen Chua, and Jude Limus.

Malaysian Songwriter-Guitarist Ray Cheong is a true artist who choose to do things differently; holding to what he adamantly believed in keeping music to its purest form, Ray Cheong certainly did just that. Rather than having his first album made with sophisticated recording maneuvers, he had made in London. 
Having that, he released two albums, Ray Cheong Live in London and Ray Cheong Trio live at No Black Tie.

Influenced mainly by acoustic heroes such as John Mayer and John Butler Trio, Ray Cheong prefers to market his music his way and not let the industry put a label on it. He has accompanied and opened for notable artistes such as Pixie Lott(UK), Tommy Emmanuel(AUS/US), Adam Rafferty(US), Farid Ali(MY), Az Samad(MY), Nadhira(MY), Salam Musik(MY), Azmyl Yunor(MY), David Knight(US), Narmi(MY) and many other musicians, local and interntional.
