The Sessionists are an alternative pop rock band that first began playing together in their home church before playing for live gigs in 2013. Their collective musical style is an amalgam of both laid back and upbeat acoustic sounds, with a penchant for putting their own spin on familiar tunes.
The band features Esther Subramaniam on lead vocals, Serena Chew on the keyboard, Justin Chan on the guitar, and Alphonsus Ang on drums and percussion. As a band, The Sessionists are most passionate about creating their own brand of music - complete with both groove and heart.

The band first came together when a friend asked if they could perform for his university’s graduation night. As members of the same church, they have been actively serving in the worship ministry as musicians and vocalists for a few years running, and hence they agreed to play a set together. They performed as a band for the first time last August, and have since been pursuing their passion for music whenever the opportunity came knocking.
Playing with technical excellence is a quality that they strive to deliver, and being comfortable with one another allows for greater latitude to be creative in their musical interpretations, styles & genres (pop, jazz, funk, rock... et cetera). Thanks to the camaraderie that they have with one another, The Sessionists have since taken their music to various places, such as Singapore Management University Law School and public performance spaces at China Square Central and the Waterfront Promenade.
