Bassist – Keith Ong
Keith is a founding member and the bass player for the local band Reverie, which has played regularly at many of the major pub venues locally since the year 2002. Through working with the band, he has also had the opportunity to perform at the Esplanade Outdoor stage, Recital Studio and the Marina Bay Floating platform. In the middle of 2008, Keith turned freelance as a bass player and has since been working with The Singapore Wind Symphony's City Swing band as well as the NUS Jazz Band. He constantly seeks to improve and reinvent himself and feels equally comfortable pounding out the latest rock songs as he is swinging to the smoothest jazz tunes.
