Avery Chan

Avery is a Singapore-based guitarist and arranger who brings his music to life with creativity and passion. His journey started at the age of 9 when he picked up the drums just for fun. Little did he know, that hobby would spark a love for other instruments—guitar at 15, and later, the chromatic harmonica at 25. Now, as the arranger and guitarist for SPRESSO Harmonica, a local harmonica ensemble, Avery’s musical fingerprints are all over their performances.

From arranging for big events like River Hong Bao 2022 to being nominated for the Best Original Music Award at the National Youth Film Awards, he’s already making waves. Avery dreams of diving deeper into the jazz world, whether that’s composing, playing guitar, or harmonica. It’s all part of his creative journey, and he’s just getting started!
