During my visit to SWF, I managed to meet up with Ms Elaine
Lam, a local music artist. She performed four different songs in which speak
about her childhood memories, love and troubled hearts. She has just released
five EPs with a mixture of English as well as Chinese songs which focuses on
the genre of Jazz. While listening to her songs, I could feel her story in her
lyrics and could also picture images in my mind. This is what a good music lyric
does, let alone, a good book.

During my interview with Ms Lam, I managed to
find out how she got involved in this festival since she was a new and
up-coming artist. She told me that SWF, after hearing the kind of music she
produced, went to Livehouse @ The Arts House which is a live music company.
Livehouse then approached her to perform some of her songs during SWF to share
the kind of music she produces and also to share about how her ideas came about
when she was writing the lyrics to her songs.
