Singaporean singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jonny Ong crafts a vibrant blend of psychedelic rock, infused with experimental instrumentation from across the globe and a passionate dose of nostalgia. A tapestry of sound brought to life with prismatic animated visuals, his music pushes boundaries, led by evocative lyrics centred around storytelling, escapism, and desire.

Reconnecting with his roots and stepping away from the hypnotic handpan explorations of his 2021 album 'Isolation' Jonny draws inspiration from rock icons The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and The Doors, and is strongly influenced by the music, art, and fashion of the 1960s.

A charismatic performer who is equally at home on stage as he is in the studio, Jonny also fronts rock band ‘Holy Roller and The Smoking Guns’, in which he has frequently performed at the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix, Zouk Singapore, as well as a tour of the Hard Rock Cafes in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, and Bali. He has since brought these energetic shows to his hometown of London, with appearances across the capital.

Reflecting and experimenting through the pandemic lockdowns, Jonny enters a new chapter, teasing his upcoming album ‘Just Like Yesterday’ with guitar-driven single ‘Don’t Wake Me From This Dream’, due for release September 30th.

Dreaming, Dancing, Exploring, Creating, Healing, Loving.

Davide Swarup is often said to be a « soul player ». As a hang musician, a very unique one, he inspires and blows the mind away from thoughts or mental mechanisms.
Listening to his melodies is a way of meditating. Davide himself plays in a meditative state, allowing the music to come to him, without the ego or any kind of control interfering. The energy just flows through him, as if channelled: his compositions come to him from somewhere out there and make them so special. Body, hands and fingers, so relaxed and smooth, become the translation of a beyond as well as the pure expression of the here and now. Through improvisation, the present moment reveals itself in all its beauty. One of Davide’s favorite sentences is: “let’s see what happens”. This very “happening” is really what can be heard in his hang music, as a way to enhance each and every moment that comes and goes. Davide enables us to listen to the power of mindfulness, to the inner freedom from which life just expresses itself.
Attending Davide Swarup’s concert has something very special: one can witness and feel the subtle and invisible energy coming along with the vibrations of his Hang. The musician seems to be a channel for the divine to be heard, speaking to our heart and to a deeper part of ourselves. Touching this very inner space, this music makes it move and beat.
One of the most common reactions when people hear him playing for the first time is to stop. While busking, Davide has often seen passers-by walk past him, then suddenly stop and go back: to listen. Something, an inner and thirsty room in the soul, holds them and craves his music. To let go, to soothe, to synchronise.
The beauty of the Hang sound and its frequencies indeed convey a strong feeling of inner harmony, even stronger thanks to the deep symbiosis Davide is in with his instrument.
For Davide’s part, things are very simple. As he says, “I just play what I love”.
This, we can definitely hear.
