Check out Daniel & Xin Ying doubling up as Duo Emcees in the Duo Premium Deal.

Q2: Does your Live Band accept dedications?
A: Yes! We love singing for your guests’ dedications and will do our best to cater!
Q3: Can we select our own songs ?
A: Definitely yes! We will send you a pre-list of well-received and popular songs for review. You can then change and insert your own favorites and leave the rest to us!
Q4: Can you guys sing our March-In songs ?
A: Yes, we can!
Q5: How much do you charge ? And why aren’t the prices found in this website ?
A: We do have Promotion Packages with NETT Pricing listed under the Promotions Page.
As for Standard Rates of all Live Band and Emcee combis, we will inform you through email/phone correspondences. Our rates are attractive and our packages give you the flexibility to choose a suitable one that matches your budget. They are not published due to competition.
Q6: What is a “Set” ? And how long is 1 Set?
A: A Set is our band’s performance duration of 45mins.
Commonly, for weddings, we are engaged for 2 Sets:
– 1st Set of 45mins starts after 1st March-In when 1st Dish is served.
– 2nd Set of 45mins starts after 2nd March-In when Table-to-Table Photo-taking commences.
Each Set has a maximum of 12 songs.
Q7: Does your band provide sound system as well?
A: Yes, we do. Check it out here.
They are packaged into our Live Band Packages & Promotions and are compulsory to ensure our Service & Sound Quality for your big day.
We Do NOT use venue Sound Systems due to the following reasons:
– Many Hotels do not allow Live Band to use theirs.
– Hotel Sound Systems are normally PA systems good for speech and not suitable for Live Band use.
– In worst scenarios we experienced, some venue’s PA systems will easily overload and cut off the system power when there are too many inputs (which is common for Live Band).
– Hotel AV Crews are not trained to handle and monitor Live Band Sounds, which will affect our performance.
Q8: Does your band bring your own instruments?
A: Yes, we do!
Smaller Instruments like Guitars are personal instruments brought by respective musicians.
Bigger ones like Keyboards are included as part of our In-House Sound System & Live Band Equipment Rental, included in Live Band Packages.
Q9: What logistics do you guys need from the performing venue?
A: Since our Live Band packages already includes In-House Sound System & Equipment Rental, we only need Power Source Outlets and a Stage Space for our Live Band.
For Emcees, Venue must provide at least Podium Mics and/or Wireless Mics.
Q10: What kind of songs do Music Box play?
A: We play a wide genre of repertoire ranging from Pop, Sentimental, Rock, Bossanova and of different languages including English, Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, Japanese & Korean.
Our repertoire grows with you!
