A Time for Entertainment

Singaporean singer-songwriter Linying‘s confessional style of songwriting has struck a chord with a diverse and passionate audience, receiving international praise from BBC to Billboard. Fresh off her headlining concert at the iconic Esplanade Concert Hall in Singapore last September, she has also been named one of Spotify Asia’s 25 Most Influential Artists. Her 2022 debut album,There Could Be Wreckage Here, was crowned one of NPR's top albums in the week of its release.

Comprising of Marc, Clo and Zie, brb. creates music that amalgamates the nostalgia of the 80s and 90s with the sounds of today. Since their debut in late 2018, they have garnered listeners from across Asia with their iconic songs, “move” and“ your love”. Heavily inspired by their personal stories and emotions, each song is a sonic representation of a moment, a feeling, a state of mind.

Great times never truly last long. Rather than lament this, I-En believes in celebrating life’s seasons to the fullest by catching every chance to grow, to laugh, and to have a great time. 

He’s not just a well seasoned emcee - I-En is marinated. With a jovial personality and a penchant for making people laugh, come join him and his friends this January for a Patron’s Day celebration you’ll never forget!
 

Like the changing seasons, Jasmine moves and adapts to all that is new and in part this is thanks to her wide-eyed curiosity. Patron’s Day has been a special occasion for her since she first hosted it back in 2021, and since then she’s hosted a variety of events ranging from corporate celebrations to livestreams and voiceovers. Jasmine is at heart a people-person and this Patron’s Day she looks forward to sharing SMU’s joy with the larger community on campus! 

Shayanne understands that there is a time for everything. That's why she’s pretty much everything everywhere all at once!

This Patron's Day, let's embark on an exciting year ahead with everything SMU can offer!
 

Time is precious and it can't be altered or changed. This might sound scary, but it also teaches us to appreciate every second spent cherishing them with the people we hold close to our hearts. PD23 is extra special as it reminds us to celebrate time and our moments together so why not spend your time with us here, at SMU Patron’s Day!
