About

I’m Ahmad Khaliq Bin Ismail, a Singapore-based music educator, producer, sound designer, and performing artist with over two decades of experience spanning live performance, creative production, and teaching. Since 2005, I’ve been active in Singapore’s music and creative scene—performing at major local festivals and venues and touring across Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia. I’ve also held a DJ residency and supported live event atmosphere with lighting and production-focused performance work.

As an educator, I’ve taught since 2011 across MOE schools, corporate organisations, and private learners, focusing on practical musicianship, confidence, creativity, and collaboration. I currently coach the Jam Band Ensemble CCA at Hwa Chong International School and teach guitar, bass, and ukulele at Vibratone Academy, while also serving as an instructor under AMIS. Alongside teaching and performance, I compose and design sound for arts and cultural projects with clients such as National Gallery Singapore, the National Museum of Singapore, Sigma Contemporary Dance, and National University of Singapore.
