Elyse Cloudd
Guided by moods, colours, and tonal qualities, Elyse Cloudd is a project by Singaporean musician and educator, Xiu Min Chong. Her earliest memories as a child were dancing by the piano, and constantly humming tunes in class to the annoyance of her teachers. She eventually got a scholarship to study composition and musicology at the University of Oxford and the University of Birmingham. Lyricism, jazz and improvisation are a huge part of her palette and process, coupled with a glass of wine and a healthy serving of late-night solitude.
