You might know her from the popular upbeat alternative rock act Allura. Frontwoman Inch Chua steps out on her own to share a different beat.
Inspired by singer-songwriters such as Fiona Apple, Roisin Murphy and Shiina Ringo and electronic acts like Bjork, Aphex Twin and The Postal Service, Inch's solo project is a clear departure from the boisterous rock singer she is known for. The material is a schizophrenic potpourri of introspective acoustic tunes and chirpy electronica. What remain unmistakable are the pint-sized singer's trademark powerhouse vocals.
Being the first Singapore female singer-songwriter to be invited to the prestigious South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival, this undoubtedly is Inch's biggest platform to perform to date. She will be performing a few dates in the United States during March.
In May 2010, she has been invited to attend Beijing's largest independent music festival, MIDI Festival which sees more than 25,000 attendees annually.
Being an advocate of free music and Creative Commons License, she gives away her music for free on her website: www.inchchua.com. To date, Inch has released 2 EPs online: The Bedroom (August 2009) and Peace, Love & Mistletoe (December 2009).
