Stella and Vee – the two who make up the dynamic duo StellaVee, are passionate individuals with an undying love for song writing and performance. Stella’s gentle nature and Vee’s relentless energy coupled with their many years of friendship, have made this partnership a match made in heaven.
In 2017, StellaVee rose to fame with their rendition of ‘Stay With Me’ after having their videos reposted on Taiwanese Media and Malaysian Media Social Media Sites breaking one million views in a matter of weeks. In November 2019, they released their first debut album titled《朋友说 A Friend Says》which has been critically acclaimed, with remarkable results across major music platforms. One of the originals《网兽Cyber Beast》was also selected as the theme song for Mediacorp Channel 8’s drama《All Around You》. StellaVee’s debut ticketed concert at Esplanade Annexe Studio titled《Say Whaaat?》which was also held in November 2019 saw over 300 fans sang their hearts out along with StellaVee!
Desmond Ng started singing professionally in 2009 and achieved Top 8 in a Taiwan singing and song writing competition in 2010. With his humble personality and fantastic vocals, he won a strong fan base. Ng took part in “The Getai Challenge” organised by Mediacorp in 2015. His heart-thumping performances during each stage of the competition not only thrilled the audience but also won him the championship, beating the rest of the contestants including established Getai industry veterans.
In 2016, Desmond began his acting career and acted in three drama series in the same year. He held his first music showcase with his band AL4HA on 11 November 2018, drawing a fantastic turnout which included fans, media and celebrities.

Alfred signed on with Mediacorp after winning reality program Project Superstar 2014, and is now working together with Cross Ratio Entertainment for his music career, taking his passion for music further.
Alfred has since released his debut self-titled EP in January 2016, which conceptualises his versatility in portraying different styles and vocal techniques, churning slow rock ballads to other tracks complementing the rock genre.
