• a brief introduction
Corrinne May is a Singaporean singer-songwriter currently based in Los Angeles. Corrinne was born on January 19, 1973 and was named after her mother's favourite song, "Corinna, Corinna".

She studied in Raffles Girls' Primary School, Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) and Raffles Junior College. At the National University of Singapore, she majored in mass communications and English literature before leaving for Berklee College of Music to further her music education. And in 1999, she re-located to Los Angeles in order to pursue her dreams in music fully.

"Fly Away" was her debut album in which "Mr Beasley", we are not shy to say, is an old favourite of ours. In September 2004, Corrinne May became the first (and only) artist singing exclusively in English, to be signed by the record label Forward Music in Taiwan, which distributes her music to Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and China.

• fresh from the grapevine
Corrinne released her 4th album, Beautiful Seed, officially in Singapore on August 6, 2007.

• last thoughts
"Amidst the myriad of dazzling singers in the industry today, I still remember clearly the lyrics of Corrinne's Mr Beaseley. That striking honesty and quiet beauty that touches the heart deeply"

The people behind the blog


Henry | www.mujiri.com
A interactive designer by day and swashbuckling illustrator by night, Henry spends most of his time in front of the computer dreaming up the next design or illustration. And when he is away from the computer, he is dreaming up the different nice things his fiancee can do for him, which sadly doesn't often comes true:P.

He founded IAFS as place to showcase the many talents from Singapore and hopefully in the process, helps to bring them closer to the masses.

it started like this...

"There was a local movie with a name made up of just numerals, which was one of the better films shown this year. And halfway through the show, there was this updated piece of an old hokkien favorite that was at the same time achingly beautiful and strangely familiar.

A search on the net for the person behind this updated piece only revealed a name. And after really, really much searching ... zilch"

and this is how it began,
to create a place to showcase the many talented individuals from the little red dot and create a little slice of immortality for them.
