Urban Harmony Singers

"Urban Harmony Singers"由東南亞各國最頂尖的資深無伴奏合唱歌手組成,宗旨為"把音樂帶給觀眾、與觀眾一同作樂",演出充滿活力、幽默感與娛樂性,擅唱耳熟能詳的歌曲,並與觀眾互動,一直深受歡迎。

Urban Harmony is an energetic and entertaining team made up of singers with a strong sense of stage savviness, suave moves and a huge dose of interactive antics for our audience.

The singers, Angelina, Zalina, Angela, Earl and Hekko are all very talented and experienced performers who, together create an excellent blend of creativity, comedy, musical arrangements, fantastic emcee skills with great kids appeal.

A lethal combination for a pow wow a cappella ensemble.

The mission of this group is to work on each performance by creating and crafting an audience-friendly and highly interactive show each time. The team will also be the first in Singapore to be children-centered.

It's motto lies in making music for the people and with the people. The repertoire consists mainly of familiar tunes that will get everyone singing along as well as providing them a take home package filled with inspirations and light-hearted moments.

Angela Goh (Soprano)

Literally the nightingale of the group, Angela soars not only as the group’s highest voice but she also works in the medical field as a Occupational Therapist. Singing and healing are part of her life.

Her background in a cappella singing comes from her experiences in her school choirs back in high school and her interest in solo singing over the years. She lends her talent for reaching those notes on the ends with her bright and light soprano voice.

Zalina Lee (Alto / Mezzo)

Zalina's music career spans a variety of disciplines. She has taught contemporary voice in University Sedaya, sung with Malaysian a  cappella group The Wicked Pitches, actively participates in the Malaysian music theater scene, and has even haunted nocturnal jazz watering holes in Kuala Lumpur.

Zalina brings with her not only a dynamic aura to the team but also a great deal of awesomeness as the resident soloist and alto / soprano.

She feels extremely privileged to perform side by side with the other a cappella professionals and enthusiasts that comprises the diverse Urban Harmony team.

Angelina Choo (Alto / Tenor)

Angelina is the resident alto and tenor in the group and brings with her a large portfolio of singing, voice training, production and directing experience to the team.

An Arts Manager by training, Angelina has been singing and performing for over 30 years. Her years of experience have stemmed from singing in many choirs like the Singapore Youth Choir to directing and singing in pop a cappella groups like Nanu and Notations and as a founding member of Snowball and Vocaluptuous.

As the Director of the local charity, The A Cappella Society, she has dedicated much of her time to helping to produce shows and workshops and directing the training of the children's and youth ensembles in TAS.

Her experience in voice coaching, choral conducting and general music teaching spans over 10 years allowing her the opportunity to work with singers from 2 to 75.

Earl Lazo (Bass)

Earl is the team’s bass man who also comes with an amazingly soulful baritone solo voice. With a great talent for pop and choral singing, Earl brings with him not only a pitch perfect bass line but also a great sense of musical direction, approach and feel. He is also 1 of 2 arrangers in the group.

A scientist by trade, Earl’s calling to music started way back in school with a rock solid background in classical piano and then singing in college with the very best in the Philippines.

Hekko Wicaksono (Vocal Percussion / Tenor)

A full-time artiste from Jakarta, Indonesia, Hekko is the group’s tenor and vocal percussionist. His flair for vocal arranging and all things technology sees him as one of 2 resident arrangers and the only UH performer on the loop station.

With a background of over 25 years of singing and performing with Jamaica Cafe, Indonesia’s only professional a cappella group, Hekko brings with him a wealth of experience, and most importantly a great and steady groove that brings the entire team together.
