	Jing Wong Graduated as a Theatre Designer and Director in London's Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design with First Honours, Jing Wong went on to create a Fashion Theatre brand with his sister Kay called Daydream Nation in 2007. He has released a total of 7 album/eps and has toured 30 cities in China. He has played at Music Festivals such as the Clockenflap, Wow and Flutter, and Freespace. He was also invited to play in Adelaide's OZAsia Festival in 2016, Zandari Festival, and PAMS festival in Seoul 2017. His songs are featured in films by Ann Hui and Heiward Mak. He is also a keen educator who has taught young musicians regularly in events organised by the Renaissance Foundation and ‘Every Life is a Song.’ He has recently returned to his theatre roots, creating a One Man Music Theatre Show, A Spy in the House of Love, in November 2018 at Arts Centre, and a bigger scale Music x Tap x Theatre production, The Drifters, at the Cultural Centre in August 2021 funded by HAB’s Art Capacity Fund. Jing starts his PhD at The City University of Hong Kong this September, his chosen area being Interactive and Immersive Theatre performances inspired by Video and Board Games.
	Lester Lam 來自馬來西亞的本地唱作歌手Lester Lam，作品以流行⾳樂為基底，並融入R&B及Indie元素。於2020年推出首張EP「Unwithered Blue」將自⼰幾年來獨⾃在外地生活所經歷的情感寫入五首撫慰⼼靈的歌中；其中的標誌色「藍」不僅代表唱作⼈自己(「藍」為他的中文姓⽒)，更是伴隨他⼀路成長的情緒。EP收錄了「Out of This World」與「Battles」等代表作，講述了每個人成長過程中必定感受到的憂鬱與不安，希望可以從歌聲中獲得共鳴與安慰。時隔2年半，Lester再推出全新概念專輯《Aquilo》，再度與Daniel Toh及Claudia Koh合作，並首次與香港新晉電影配樂人Eason YH Chan聯手，於編曲中結合世界與西方音樂元素，帶來一場別於以往的聽覺盛宴。Lester從希臘神話中的北風之神汲取靈感，將其比作信念的化身，從而寫出專輯「Shadows」、「Sailing Boat」等具有連結性的作品，反映Lester此刻渴望逃離陰霾的心境，及勇敢無畏乘風並行的探險精神，為人生的下一篇章揭開序幕。近日Lester再發行單曲專輯「Rainy Days in The Blue Whale」，以唱跳歌曲「Rain On Me」重返舞台，亦推出「Snow」延續Lester感性的一面。為紀念專輯發行，Lester於1月舉辦了首個個人專場音樂會。 Lester Lam is a singer-songwriter from Malaysia, based in Hong Kong. The mixture of influences from Pop, R&B and Indie music has built the foundation for his raw and personal story telling, which is reflected in his debut EP "Unwithered Blue", documenting five brutally honest conversations with his deepest emotions, with his most streamed hit "Out of This World”. Moving on, Lester released his second EP “Aquilo”, including singles “Shadows” and "Sailing Boat"; exploring new sounds with world music elements while incorporating thematic writing inspired by mythologies and epic poems. The project consists of distinct chapters that complete a fictional story which reflects challenges Lester has faced over the years. Recently Lester has released his new single album “Rainy Days in the Blue Whale”, including his first dance tune "Rain On Me" and mellow ballad "Snow". Celebrating his album release, he has opened his first headline show in January, 2023.
