Tonight we had the six-man band, Son Of A Policeman with us! Unfortunately we could only cram in two of them in the live studio. What could had been a hectic Smartypants trailblazer turned into a mini-listening party complete with milo and crackers in our pantry.

 

On to serious business, Son Of A Policeman or SOAP for short, is a local Subang-based band with and arrangement headache of six members! SOAP’s members all came from different backgrounds of music, that just comes together as the stage lights are on and the crowd beckons for them. A mixture of RnB, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk and tons more accumulate into a genre which they themselves call, ‘indie rojak’.

 

Main man of SOAP is Joshua Ganesan. He started it all in 2012 after leaving the folk & jazz outfit, Black Ties & Misais in 2011. By 2013, bandmates Axl Grey, Sean Michael and Zijunn Tan joined in. With Sean and Zijunn being multi-instrumentalists; this gave the band a whole new dynamic during sets, Sean and Zijunn would change slots, giving a different style of performance every time. The two final pieces were filled by Jonathan Chin and Jee Yann Choong, drummer and keyboardist of the band.

 

In 2014, the band entered Tune Studios’ Battle & Win contest. SOAP emerged up top to win an album deal with the studio and is currently finishing up their debut EP, Sleepless In Subang.

 

For the record, Joshua, Jee and Zijunn from SOAP scored 19!
