In a homecoming that promises to captivate Singapore’s music scene, Gen Neo, the Seoul-based singer-songwriter and R&B maestro, is set to headline his first solo concert in his hometown. Taking place on November 30, 2024, at the Esplanade Annexe Studio, this event isn’t just a performance—it’s a celebration of an artist whose journey has taken him from Singapore’s shores to the global stage.
An Artist Rooted in Global Rhythms
Born and raised in Singapore, Gen Neo’s musical path has been nothing short of remarkable. A graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Gen first made his mark behind the scenes, producing for K-pop heavyweights such as Super Junior, GOT7, and Henry Lau. However, it was his pivot to the spotlight in 2015 that defined him as an artist of extraordinary depth.
With a unique sound that blends contemporary R&B with echoes of the early 2000s, Gen Neo has carved a niche that feels both nostalgic and fresh. His latest EP, Push&Pull, released earlier this month, is a testament to his evolution as a storyteller. Across eight tracks, he explores the emotional highs and lows of relationships, with standout songs like “Tell the Truth”, “Same Mistakes”, and “Otnw”showcasing his knack for raw, heartfelt lyricism paired with effortlessly smooth vocals.
A Night to Remember
The “Push&Pull Live” concert is more than just a showcase of Gen Neo’s artistry—it’s a love letter to his roots. For this special evening, Gen has reimagined his most beloved tracks, such as “Called it Love”, “Stay”, and “Losing Game”, creating exclusive live arrangements with the support of a world-class band. These aren’t just background musicians—they’re industry legends who’ve worked with icons like Missy Elliott and Wang Leehom, adding a layer of sonic sophistication to the performance.
Joining him are exciting opening acts DJ Dee and indie-pop artist lovlaine, whose vibrant energies will set the tone for the evening. Adding to the star power, rising talents Riaan and Dane will grace the stage as special guests, infusing the concert with fresh, international flavors that underscore Gen Neo’s global appeal.
