Tristan Chen

NANNY personifies Singapore speaking to its citizens. The song asks why adults still need rules for elementary matters of consideration, and whether they’ve learned to exercise their own judgment or simply to police one another.

Inspired by the public reaction to a man eating ice cream on Singapore’s MRT, it doesn’t dispute that he broke the rule. It questions whether exposing someone to public ridicule is a proportionate response.

I’m also looking for a male voice to write for. Someone whose tone, intimacy and phrasing feel at home in the world of onlytomas, particularly if his voice resembles the male vocals you hear in my demos.

Not simply a singer for an existing track, but a muse whose voice inspires the songs themselves.

For the right creative connection, I’d be happy to write original music without a songwriting fee.

Message me via Twine and share a simple voice recording. A professional studio demo isn’t necessary.

This is an invitation to a selective creative collaboration, not a paid vocalist job. Fee-free refers specifically to songwriting; it does not automatically include recording, mixing or mastering, or assignment of rights. Ownership, credits and release rights will be agreed case by case before work begins.

An atmospheric instrumental project centred on evolving textures, spatial depth, restrained musical development and mood.

My contribution: Instrumental concept, sonic and arrangement direction, AI-assisted generation, critical listening, selection and release presentation.

Production process: Author-led musical and creative direction using Suno Pro for AI-assisted sound generation and subsequent selection and refinement.
