Maisha Maryam - Vocals
Maisha's voice is a powerful tool that transcends boundaries, evokes emotions, and connects people on a deeper level. Born with an innate love for music, she began singing before she could speak. Her unique sound is shaped by her various cultural, musical, and literary influences, as well as her synaesthesia, which allows her to tap into the emotional resonance of colors and textures. Maisha weaves complex stories that evoke vivid sensory experiences, transporting listeners to new worlds and perspectives.
David Yeung (DY) - Synthesist
The group's Synthesist, a sound sculptor and disciple of experimental sonic exploration. He crafts original sounds and textures for all performances, embracing both analog and digital synthesis.
Enamored by the rich tones of piano and the lush sweeps of the 4-pole ladder filter on his Moog Subsequent 37, his versatile skillset spans piano, mono/poly synths, and modular Eurorack systems. He believes the process and product of sound creation are inextricably linked.
Justin Wong - Guitar
Justin is an aspiring jazz guitarist who has been greatly inspired by the works of renowned artists like Robben Ford and Peter Bernstein. As a student of jazz, Justin brings an eager and passionate approach to Jazz and blues, and approaches the genre with genuine enthusiasm.
Eric Lau - Bass
A Head and Neck Surgeon in the day and a Bassist by night, Eric’s steady fingers walk the strings with deft precision laying down the rhythmic foundation upon which Demijoju’s harmonies soar.
His propulsive baseline and low-end groove is the ensemble’s pulse and heartbeat, driving the jazz and soul combo forward.
