Anise

Anise first came about in 2012. After moving back from a foreign country and finding no solace in friends who had become strangers, strangers who wanted to be friends, and strange friendships, she sought to rephrase her solitude and new reality into stories. She writes about her hometown Singapore and the heartbreak her country sometimes brings and about the rough terrain of love and loss. Her soft vocals have been described as ‘feathery’ and ‘misty’, and her stage presence lures the audience into her cocoon of nervous energy and beautiful brutality. Anise pairs off-kilter chords with tender lyrics and poignant storytelling into her songs.
