Benjamin Ang

Benjamin Ang never left the NUS Electronic Music Lab - he enjoyed his time performing, composing and recording as a student member so much that he stayed on as alumni, then became a tutor, and was eventually appointed Principal Tutor. Through the years he has fed his passion for learning electronic music through lessons at Boston University's School for the Arts, and filming the International Computer Music Conference proceedings in Singapore. Today, he trains EML members in producing, performing and promoting original electronic music.

Benjamin plays keyboards and is the producer/remixer of local electronic pop duo COSMIC ARMCHAIR, which is signed to the European record label Alfa Matrix. The duo has released four EPs internationally, and produces remixes for other European artists. COSMIC ARMCHAIR and NUS EML have performed at venues as varied as Substation, The Arts House, The Esplanade Waterfront, The Esplanade Concourse, and Zouk Club.

Benjamin's latest project was the Digital Dondang Sayang series of concerts, part of the NUS Arts Festival 2016, which incorporated his ancestral Peranakan poetry with improvised electronic music.

Eunice has acted in various feature films, most recently, 3.50 – the first ever co-production between Singapore and Cambodia of which she acted and produced. Her belief in the power of good media and social impact storytelling led her to start Eunice Olsen Media with the aim of creating impactful and mindful content that advocates for global issues, and influences behavior, with a strong focus on the empowerment of women and girls.

Eunice Olsen Media’s flagship program WomenTalk TV, is an online video interview series dedicated to women’s empowerment and was nominated for an International Emmy Award in 2014.

In November 2017, she launched Nuskora.com, a purposeful e-commerce site that curates quality and value for money products for women and aims to have most of the products from women-run businesses. It also aspires to build an entire eco-system where it works with a panel of experts and help to inform customers on how to take care of themselves through informative videos, to being a platform for independent brands run by women.

Her wide reach over the hearts and minds of her fans extends beyond the scope of entertainment, to social activism.

Olsen has multiple ongoing humanitarian projects in Cambodia ranging from Project Precious, a menstrual hygiene management education program, to building sanitation for schools and evicted communities. She has a passion for the unsung ‘sheroines’ of the world.

In 2018, Eunice published her first children’s book ‘I’m a Girl. See what I can be!’, a series of poems inspired by the lives of women she’s interviewed on WomenTalk. The production of the book was made possible through a successful crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo and exceeded expectations by raising 125% of the targeted amount. The book brings together women’s empowerment and special needs, two causes that are really close to her heart.

Eunice has been playing the piano since the age of three and enjoys playing for her family and friends whenever she can. She believes it’s the little things we do together that make the bigger difference.
