Q2: Why & How did you join Music Box?
Raynor: Two of my Friends – Dominic & Yvonne, from my previous company were getting married, and as they knew that I sing and play guitar alot, they requested me to sing for their wedding. With little to no experience in wedding singing, I decided to get a female vocalist friend – Xin Ying (the 2nd Pioneer of Music Box) to join in the fun!
From that Wedding, we got to know their Emcee, whose a professional and also later on contacted us for more gig opportunities with more couples. Thats how Music Box started to grow till today.

Raynor: Founder, Director, Guitarist, Male Vocalist, Sales. Marketing, Soundman, Webmaster, Social Media IC :p
Basically, I seldom sing and play already (exception for good friends weddings if they requested) as I have to run the business from back to front, and having so many roles stated above.
As Director, I always assure the Service Quality of Music Box is never compromised and always reminded my team to keep in mind that they are singing/emceeing for a Joyful Occasion and to serve with a smile and for couples and guests to always remember.
You will also often see me setting up Sound System and monitoring Sound System for my Live Band. Sound is one of the most important factor of any Live Band, which will ultimately decide if the Band sounds good or not, no matter how good the singers sing or musician play.

A Bad One: Was manning sound for one Wedding Gig at this particular restaurant and outside was pouring heavy rain. Suddenly their Roof right behind my Live Band starts to leak water, and it got closer and closer to our Band, who was still singing.
