Lorraine Tan

Lorraine Tan 陈莉芯 is a Singaporean singer/songwriter. She graduated from CHIJ Saint Nicholas Girls' School and Hwa Chong Junior College. She later graduated from the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore as a civil engineer. She was also trained in vocals and piano (ABRSM grade 8, distinction), and later in music education (Post graduate diploma, distinction; from NIE - National Institute of Education) to teach music.

She started composing in 2000. Her first composition "Dreams" won the First Prize in an NUS song writing competition. She has written more than 200 songs to date for corporate companies, wedding couples, government agencies and National day charity projects. She has also performed in more than 800 events.

She then released two albums, Tan in Original Love Stories Volume 1 & 2, which compiled the songs she had written, back in 2006 and 2008 respectively. The albums primarily catered to her network of wedding, corporate clients and their friends.

In 2010, Tan decided to take her music career to the next level with a commercial Chinese album, 我的世界 (My World), which sold out in both Singapore and Malaysia. 我的世界 (My World) was also selected as mediacorp's Chinese TV drama "RESCUE 995" ending theme song on channel 8.

The commercial album was produced by Tan under her own music label, Pink Piano Productions, and the album was supported generously by sponsors. It was marketed by Warner Music Singapore. The album's positive reception from the fans, and her love for her country, next led her to compose and record a single during Singapore's National Day in 2011. Aptly titled My Singapore, the song received strong airplay on Y.E.S. 93.3FM and Class 95FM, leading to her performing the track to a 5,000-strong crowd at the National Day party at Marina Barrage at the invitation of PUB (The Public Utilities Board of Singapore).

In 2013, Tan wrote and produced My Singapore 2013 theme song - "Shine Singapore". The YouTube video went viral and received more than 230k views within a month of release. A charity music concert for 2000 audience was held at Esplanade Concert Hall with students and teachers from different schools. The Shine Singapore Project raised SGD $200,000 for the Straits' Times School Pocket Money Fund.
