The 10 Best Emcees & Live Bands in Singapore

Trusted Singapore emcees and live bands for weddings, corporate events, launches and gala dinners.

Reviewed by our editors · Updated July 2026 · How we rank

Our verdict: Musical Touch is the best emcees & live band in Singapore right now - best all-rounder for most event briefs. Merry Bees runs it closest.

A good emcee or live band in Singapore does more than fill time between programme items. For weddings, dinner and dances, launches and conferences, the right team keeps the room moving, handles bilingual announcements clearly and reads the crowd before energy drops.

When shortlisting, check whether the act provides sound support, backup musicians, run sheet coordination and emcee options. Venue rules, early sound checks, Mandarin or Malay hosting needs and last-minute programme changes can make a big difference to the final guest experience.

Musical Touch
89/100
Large live band and emcee vendor covering weddings, corporate events and private parties.

“Best all-rounder for most event briefs.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Musical Touch is especially strong for clients who want options. The catalogue is broad, the contact details are transparent and the team is set up for both intimate wedding music and bigger corporate programmes. Reviews commonly point to reliability and polished performances, which matters when music is only one part of a packed event schedule. The trade-off is that popular lineups can feel vendor-led unless you are specific about your preferred singer, repertoire and emcee tone from the start.

Merry Bees works well when you need entertainment and event flow handled together. The strongest feedback is around warm bilingual hosting, responsive coordination and performers who can switch between singing and emcee duties. It is a practical pick for couples and companies that do not want to manage separate vendors for host, band and production.

Sparkle Live Music
87/100
Wedding and event live music provider known for personalised songs, emcees and premium artistes.
sparklelivemusic.com
“Best for personalised wedding music.” - our editors
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Sparkle is a good fit when the music needs to feel personal rather than generic. The brand's strength is in curated wedding moments, song dedications and polished vocalists who can handle English and Mandarin repertoires comfortably. It also has enough corporate work to avoid feeling wedding-only. The trade-off is that the best known artistes will usually be the draw, so couples should clarify availability early and confirm exactly who is performing and emceeing.

+65 6635 6622 enquiry@highnotes.com.sg highnotes.com.sg
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
High Notes is one of the more polished choices for clients who care about presentation, technical support and event concept. The contact page is unusually complete, and the talent list is broad enough for serious gala or launch briefs. Their strength is not just a singer turning up, but the ability to think through attire, sound, lighting and stage impression. The trade-off is that smaller, casual events may not need the full machinery of this kind of agency.

ShiLi & Adi
85/100
Multilingual pop-jazz duo offering live music and wedding emcee services.
+65 9232 9395 sing@shiliandadi.com shiliandadi.com
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
ShiLi & Adi are strongest when a room needs both music and personality. Their duo format is compact but full-sounding, and the multilingual hosting makes them practical for Singapore weddings with mixed families. They also bring more stage credibility than a standard wedding act, with large-scale public performances behind them. The trade-off is that clients wanting a faceless background band may find their presence more front-and-centre than needed.

Emcee Lester Leo
84/100
Professional Singapore emcee for corporate, government, launch, conference and D&D events.
+65 8163 2525 lester@emceelester.com emceelester.com
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Lester is a strong pick when the emcee role is operationally important, not just decorative. His portfolio shows a wide spread of formal launches, conferences, finance events, pharma events and fun D&D formats, so he is used to moving between protocol and crowd work. The clearest strength is range. The trade-off is that he is an individual emcee rather than a music company, so live band or DJ needs should be booked separately unless coordinated through another vendor.
Why Emcee Lester Leo made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
He is one of the clearest specialist emcee picks, with transparent contact details, a deep event portfolio and experience across formal, commercial and community formats.

53A
83/100
Established Singapore pop-rock events band led by Sara Wee and Bani Hidir.
53aband.com
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
53A brings a different kind of credibility from the wedding-band agencies. They feel like a real band first, which is useful for parties, staff events and public-facing celebrations where energy and recognisability matter. Sara Wee's vocals and the band's long Singapore live circuit history give them a familiar local pull. The trade-off is flexibility: if you need multilingual hosting, string quartets or a full vendor-managed entertainment package, an agency may be easier.
Why 53A made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It deserves a place for long-running local reputation, recognisable Singapore band identity and proven ability to handle event stages beyond standard wedding entertainment.
53A is a Singapore pop-rock band formed in 2003 and now performing as an events band with Sara Wee, Bani Hidir, Lisa Haryono, Helman Kamal and Amir Shazwan. The band is widely recognised in Singapore's live music scene and was selected to perform the 2016 National Day Parade theme song, Tomorrow's Here Today. Its official site presents the current lineup, events work and contact form, making it suitable for clients who want a known local band rather than a rotating wedding ensemble.

MICappella
82/100
Award-winning Singapore a cappella group available for performances and event bookings.
micappella.com
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
MICappella is the pick when you want something more distinctive than a usual guitar-and-vocalist setup. Their a cappella format gives corporate dinners, national events and formal celebrations a polished Singapore sound without needing a conventional band. The group's reputation is stronger than most event acts, with regional performances and a clear recording profile. The trade-off is fit: for dancing, long dinner sets or emcee-led wedding flow, a standard live band package may be more practical.
Why MICappella made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
Their national visibility, a cappella specialism and professional performance history make them a standout choice for clients seeking a premium Singapore vocal act.
MICappella is a Singapore a cappella group active since 2009, with members including Tay Kexin, Calin Wong, Goh Juni, Peter Huang and Eugene Yip.

A Little Dream
81/100
Singapore live music team for weddings, corporate events and celebrations.
alittledream.com.sg
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
A Little Dream has a simple appeal: it feels focused on live music for meaningful occasions. The site is not overloaded with corporate jargon, and the wedding-first tone will suit couples who want warm, familiar songs without turning the reception into a concert. It is less transparent than some competitors on exact lineups, prices and contact details, so clients should ask direct questions about singers, band size, sound setup and contingency plans before paying a deposit.
Why A Little Dream made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
It remains a reputable live music option for weddings and celebrations, with visible review links and a clear focus on soundtrack-style event performances.
A Little Dream is a Singapore live music provider for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations. Its current site focuses on creating tailored soundtracks for event days, with separate wedding and corporate sections and visible links to Google reviews, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. The brand is best suited to clients who want a straightforward live band booking with a romantic, celebration-led positioning rather than a complex production agency.

Tay Kexin
79/100
Singapore singer, emcee and performer known for jazz, pop and event entertainment.
taykexin.com
THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW
Kexin is a strong choice when you want a recognisable performer rather than a generic events singer. Her voice suits jazz, pop and Mandopop, and she has the stage experience to handle both intimate moments and livelier audience interaction. The main advantage is personality: she can anchor a programme with warmth and musicality. The trade-off is availability and scope, as clients needing full vendor production or multiple entertainment segments may be better served through an agency package.
Why Tay Kexin made TheBest SG · full scorecardLess
WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
She rounds out the list as a respected individual artiste with credible emcee and singing experience, especially for clients who value a named performer.
Tay Kexin is a Singapore singer-songwriter, emcee and live performer associated with MICappella and Sparkle Live Music. She is known locally for jazz and pop versatility, Mandarin and English repertoire, and event work across weddings, corporate occasions and stage performances. Her public profile includes television competition exposure, regular live gigs and backing vocalist work for major concerts, while her event-related reputation is closely tied to her role in Singapore's live music and wedding entertainment scene.

Emcees & Live Bands in Singapore - your questions

How early should I book an emcee or live band in Singapore?

For popular wedding dates and year-end corporate events, book 6 to 12 months ahead. Smaller weekday events can sometimes be arranged with shorter notice, but the strongest emcees and singers are often reserved early.

Can one vendor provide both emcee and live band services?

Yes. Several Singapore entertainment vendors offer bundled emcee, singer, band, DJ and sound packages. This can help with smoother handovers, but you should still confirm who is actually hosting and performing.

What should I ask before confirming a live band?

Ask about the exact lineup, song list, rehearsal policy, sound equipment, setup time, overtime rates and whether the singers can take dedications or bilingual requests. Also check if your venue has sound limits.

Are bilingual emcees worth paying more for?

Usually, yes, especially for weddings, gala dinners and community events with mixed-age guests. A confident bilingual emcee can keep announcements clear, include more guests and recover more naturally when the schedule changes.
