WE ARE
Take three quirky friends, a dash of Temper Trap, Coldplay, The Killers, Kings of Leon, Stereophonics, mix in some thumpin’ Led Zeppelin, ACDC, Guns ‘N’ Roses, and top it off with some Taylor Swift, Pharrell, Ellie Goulding…that’s just about what makes up Stealing Sirens.
Laying down an energetic blend of the freshest Billboard chart-toppers and classic hits, we perform a wide-range of musical genres, and many spur-of-the-moment additions and requests, resulting in an engaging and electrifying live show night after night at the hippest watering holes in Singapore.
We’ve called many places home – The Bungy Bar, Beer Market, FIV五, Le Noir, Skyloft, Molly Roffey’s, The Penny Black, Tiong Bahru Bar (TBB), Lavaedge and more; and one thing we can always guarantee is that we’re bound to leave many smiling faces as we go along.

Emma Loh Drums | Percussion
Emma’s antics on and off the drumset constantly earn her stares from her bandmates. The bands she has played with vary much like her diverse music taste – from Top 40s to Hard Rock, R&B and Funk. As a member of the Guinness World Record-holding percussion group Rhythm Masala, Emma has represented Singapore (and Vietnam, no relation however) as a performer at international drum festivals. Spurred by wanderlust and a love for ethnic music, Emma travels to apprentice under cultural music groups and teachers, garnering her the ability to comfortably play almost any percussion instrument, and speak smatterings of weird languages.
