Musicians: 53A

The story of 53A first began when Alvin was introduced to Sara through a mutual friend.

Alvin felt an immediate connection with Sara on a musical level, and Sara was wowed by the sheer volume of Alvin’s hair.

The rest, as they say, is history. The two started jamming together in the dusty attic of a shop along Haji Lane, the unit number of which became the inspiration for the band’s name 53A. The duo went on to perform together in the ‘live’ music scene for nearly six years before roping in friends Hidir and Irwan to complete their line-up, when the offer to play regularly at Timbre came up.

Today, 53A is made of six musicians with diverse styles and rich musical backgrounds, and is known for its tantalizing brew of pop and rock with a spoonful of lunacy that puts a unique 53A brand on each and every song the band covers. After many long nights of sweating it out at gigs, 53A finally decided to let the cat out of the bag with its debut original album “Settle the Kettle”.

53A specializes in Pop, Rock, Punk, Alternative and Top 40s a great band that always wows the crowd with its amazing repertoire.
